About Jemima

Jemima Pearson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and self-esteem difficulties, depression, grief, anger, addictions and life changes. She also supports people facing intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, career questions, and coaching-style goals.

Jemima uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to help people understand what keeps them stuck. In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thought and behaviour. Attachment-based work and emotionally-focused methods are used to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions.

Her way of working follows client-centred principles. Sessions aim to be straightforward and honest. People are invited to talk through current problems, look at past experiences that affect them now, and try new responses that feel manageable.

She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with CBT and attachment-aware thinking when addressing anger, ongoing resentment, or repeated conflicts. That can mean learning to notice triggers, practising specific coping steps, and trying different ways of relating to others.

Jemima has additional experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and disability, body image and multicultural concerns. She sees emotional difficulties alongside practical life pressures such as money, work and caring roles. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approach and practicalities for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them, and then choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It can be useful for anger that feels reactive or for people who want clearer values to guide decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; CBT often helps with anxiety, sleep and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together you will decide what techniques suit your goals and preferences. That might mean trying different methods early on and keeping what helps most as the work continues.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins if needed. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of support around work, caring duties or when managing health issues. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical scheduling and approach so sessions fit into everyday life.
