About Jemima
Jemima Pearson is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems and major life changes. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns and those struggling with intimacy, sleep, eating or anger issues.
Her practice draws on several approaches to help people make small, practical shifts. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, noticing how past experiences affect current reactions, and trying different ways of responding. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client's needs.
Jemima uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and avoidance. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behaviour, and client-centred principles to keep the work person-focused.
She has experience working with additional concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, body image, multicultural issues, and problems with money or career direction. This helps when practical life pressures sit alongside emotional distress.
Sessions begin with a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment to agree priorities. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and making choices based on personal values rather than trying to eliminate discomfort. It can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck when avoidance has become a pattern.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for stress, anxious thinking, sleep problems and low mood where behaviour change can reduce symptoms.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional reactions. This approach can be helpful when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are a main concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with the client to agree which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as the work unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to suit remote sessions, for example by using practical exercises or coached behavioural tasks between meetings.
