Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher , BACP

Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns and caring-related strain. Jemma aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can slow down and notice what keeps them stuck.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions often include simple exercises, short reflections and gentle psychoeducation. Jemma uses mindfulness and client-centred ideas to help people tune into their thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions. She explains things in plain language and moves at a pace that feels manageable.

Jemma brings five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She says that being autistic and having ADHD shapes how she notices sensory overwhelm and emotional patterns, which informs how she works with clients. That perspective often helps when exploring attention differences, perfectionism and sensory-driven stress.

People commonly start by working on small day-to-day changes. This can mean clearer boundaries, less self-criticism, or simple routines to reduce overwhelm. Jemma encourages practising new ways of responding between sessions to build steady progress.

She offers sessions in English by video call, phone, live chat or messaging, and accepts international clients. Jemma recommends a series of sessions over a few months for the best results, but tailors plans to each person’s needs.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding what matters to you in your own words. A counsellor listens without judging and helps you clarify your values and choices. This approach can help with low self-esteem, relationship dilemmas and decisions during life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelming reactions. It helps people notice stress and anxiety earlier and try different responses. These techniques are useful for burnout, perfectionism and managing sensory or emotional overload.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jemma will talk with you about your goals and preferences and she will adapt these methods to suit your needs. The process is collaborative so you both decide what to try and when to adjust the plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video lets you see facial cues and have in-depth conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Text and live chat are helpful for quick check-ins, brief reflections and when you prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep sessions regular and integrate changes into daily routines.
