About Jemima
Jemima Pearson works with people who feel stuck, stressed or overwhelmed. She helps those facing anxiety, low mood, big life changes and relationship difficulties. Jemima also supports clients dealing with grief, addiction concerns, body image and issues connected to chronic illness and pain.
Jemima is BACP, which means she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on several practical approaches to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and focused on finding changes that feel doable in daily life.
Her style values warmth and honesty. Jemima aims to create space to understand patterns that keep recurring, and to try different ways of responding to them. She pays attention to how attachment and close relationships affect emotions and behaviour.
In therapy she may use techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside emotionally focused and client-centred work. The aim is to help people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful thoughts or behaviours, and improve how they relate to others.
Jemima has four years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She is comfortable supporting people from different cultural backgrounds and will work with international clients where that fits the practical arrangements. To start, she asks a few questions to match goals and then arranges sessions to fit the person's schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with ongoing health challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, which can help with sleep, worry and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods together to find what fits. That collaborative process means the plan can change as you discover what helps most.
Confirm session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats can be shorter for quick progress reviews, while others allow longer, deeper conversations. Talk with the therapist about what practical arrangements suit your schedule and needs.
