Jemima Pearson , BACP

Jemima Pearson is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach suits those who want a calm, steady space to sort through feelings and practical problems.

Jemima uses a mix of talking therapies to meet each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, manageable steps. She pays attention to how past attachments and experiences shape current patterns and reactions.

Her background includes four years of clinical work and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Jemima draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to notice unhelpful thinking, and on emotionally focused ideas to tackle relationship and attachment issues.

Conversations in her sessions are direct but gentle. People can expect to talk about everyday habits, recurring thoughts, and relationship patterns. Practical exercises and reflections are used between sessions when helpful, so change can be applied to daily life.

She also supports people with concerns such as addiction, body image, chronic illness, communication problems and cultural or multicultural issues. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to arrange the first appointment.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where someone wants practical steps to move forward.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and early bonds. It helps people understand how past connections influence current relationship behaviour and intimacy concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with a non-judgemental listening stance that encourages self-exploration and personal growth. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, grief and cultural or identity questions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jemima will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt her approach as therapy progresses. The plan can change if something isn’t working or priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is close to face-to-face for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when hands-free interaction helps, chat suits shorter check-ins and text lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
