Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher, BACP

Jemma offers a welcoming, nonjudgemental space where people can explore what is holding them back and begin to move forward. She recognises how overwhelming anxiety, perfectionism and self-doubt can feel, and how tiring it is to be stuck in self-critical patterns that make everyday life harder to manage.

As someone who is autistic and has ADHD, Jemma’s lived experience informs her practice. That perspective helps her notice patterns of emotional and sensory overwhelm and shape sessions that feel accepting and practical for a wide range of clients, neurodivergent or not. Her aim is to help people feel calmer, more confident and better able to make choices that reflect their needs.

People often come to Jemma feeling burnt out, stuck or caught in loops of self-criticism. Through gentle, steady work they often begin to notice small but meaningful shifts - greater ease in daily life, stronger decision-making confidence and an increased ability to balance personal needs alongside responsibilities to others.

She specialises in anxiety, perfectionism and low self-esteem, and supports adults navigating life transitions, stress, burnout and relationship difficulties. Jemma works holistically, drawing on person-centred, humanistic and mindfulness-based methods to consider thoughts, feelings, bodily responses and life experience together.

Her sessions commonly include practical exercises, creative tools for new perspectives and psychoeducation when helpful, all offered at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Counselling is most effective when approached consistently, so she usually recommends a minimum commitment of 3-6 months while remaining flexible to each person’s needs. Clients find their sessions work best when they intentionally make time before and after meetings to reflect and process the work between appointments.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Therapy Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgemental space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. The therapist listens actively, reflects back what they hear and helps people develop greater self-understanding and confidence in decision making - useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple, present-focused practices that help people notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotional triggers without immediate reactivity. These techniques can reduce the grip of worry and self-critical loops and are often helpful for anxiety, stress and burnout.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Jemma works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting sessions so the pace and tools feel manageable, including for neurodivergent and non-neurodivergent clients.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines and communication styles. Working remotely makes it easier to maintain consistency, access support from wherever you are and try approaches in the contexts where challenges actually arise, while still receiving guidance from registered professionals and therapists.
