Jemima Pearson, BACP

Jemima Pearson works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next step. She supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, mood difficulties and life transitions. Her approach also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction and coping with illness or chronic pain.

Jemima is a BACP counsellor with four years' practice experience. She draws on a mix of practical talking therapies to suit each person's needs. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded, helping people spot patterns and try different ways of responding.

Her sessions are collaborative and calm. Jemima listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small, manageable goals. This might include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new ways to communicate, or developing routines for sleep and appetite.

She also gives attention to attachment-related difficulties and body image concerns, and supports people affected by trauma, bereavement or long-term health issues. Work can involve learning to tolerate difficult feelings and building more helpful habits over time.

Jemima offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging sessions and accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Jemima’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. It helps when worries or avoidance get in the way of living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problem routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jemima will talk through options with each person and together they will decide what fits best with the client's goals, preferences and daily life. This collaborative planning can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and health needs, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
