Jemma Brett

Jemma Brett is a BACP counsellor who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. She helps people who are parenting, navigating neurodivergence, or coping with grief and separation. Her style is warm and straightforward, with a focus on listening and practical next steps.

Jemma combines professional training and personal experience to keep sessions honest and down-to-earth. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk and be heard without judgement. Sessions tend to focus on understanding what is getting in the way and finding small, manageable changes to try.

She has a particular interest in neurodivergent-affirming practice and supports people to work with their own thinking styles rather than against them. This can include exploring everyday routines, sensory needs, and communication preferences to make daily life easier.

Work often covers relationship and communication difficulties, feelings of guilt or shame, and the emotional impact of separation. Jemma also helps people struggling with isolation, low self-worth, or trouble focusing, including issues linked to ADHD.

Her approach balances empathetic listening with practical tools. Over time clients notice clearer thinking and steadier mood as they practise new ways of coping. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Jemma's availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Jemma draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in a practical way. One approach focuses on exploring and changing thought patterns that keep anxiety and low mood active, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of interpreting situations. Another approach looks at practical routines and environmental changes that support neurodivergent needs, such as adjusting daily structure and communication methods to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jemma works collaboratively to identify what feels most useful, matching techniques to each person's goals and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as progress is made.

For online sessions it is important to confirm the exact formats offered before booking, as these are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions from familiar surroundings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or mean you do not need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt practical exercises and tools so they work well in an online setting.
