About Jemma

Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher offers calm, practical support for people struggling with anxiety, panic and related pressures. She creates a non-judgemental space where worries, self-doubt and perfectionism can be named and worked through. Jemma aims to help people feel steadier, more able to make decisions, and less overwhelmed by everyday demands.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what helps in everyday life - small steps, simple exercises and reflections you can use between meetings. Jemma uses person-centred listening alongside mindfulness practices to gently shift unhelpful patterns. She draws on her own lived experience of autism and ADHD to notice sensory and emotional overload, and to adapt the pace and structure of sessions.

Clients commonly come with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, burnout and relationship concerns. Jemma also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strain, career pressures, trauma, intimacy issues and attention differences. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the specific problems she mentions working with.

Practical tools, brief psychoeducation and creative exercises are offered when useful. Work is tailored to each person and moved at a pace that feels manageable. Jemma usually suggests a period of steady work over several months, but plans are shaped around individual needs.

She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How client-centred and mindfulness-based work translates online

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client's lead. The focus is on understanding your experience, building trust, and helping you feel heard so you can make clearer choices. This approach suits people who want a steady, empathetic listener and practical steps to change daily patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations. It can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks and stress because it offers short tools to calm the body and ground attention in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit your goals, needs and preferences. You can expect experimentation with different short exercises and pacing until something feels workable for you.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel by removing commute time and allowing sessions from more locations. It also supports using brief check-ins, audio or video work, and exercises you can practice between sessions to build steady change.
