Jemma Brett, BACP

Jemma Brett is a grounded and empathetic therapist who supports adults navigating a wide range of life challenges. She combines formal training with lived experience to provide therapy that is honest, human, and affirming. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings recognised professional standards and reflective practice to her work.

Jemma works with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, parenting concerns, life transitions, and the practical and emotional impacts of neurodivergence including ADHD. She also focuses on attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication and control difficulties, relationship changes such as divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt, shame or isolation. Clients seeking support with social anxiety, mood concerns, self-worth and questions about life purpose will find these are within her scope.

Her approach is down-to-earth and compassionate, centred on creating a space where clients can be heard and understood. Jemma has a particular interest in neurodivergent-affirming practice and supports people to find ways of navigating the world that respect their individual ways of thinking and being. She works collaboratively with each person to identify practical strategies and new perspectives that fit their goals and everyday life.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapeutic support

Jemma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding patterns that contribute to distress. One key strand of her work helps people develop coping strategies and behavioural tools to manage stress, anxiety and day-to-day demands - this approach emphasizes concrete steps clients can try between sessions to reduce overwhelm. Another strand concentrates on exploring thoughts, emotions and relational patterns, including attachment-related concerns; this form of work supports people to understand how past and present relationships influence mood, communication and self-perception.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jemma works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the focus as progress unfolds. That collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy with Jemma offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and location, and allow clients to engage in ways that feel most accessible to them while working with a licensed professional.
