Jemima Pearson, BACP

Jemima Pearson works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficult life changes. She is named up front so readers know who they will meet. Her approach suits those wanting calm, straightforward help to untangle recurring patterns and start changing day-to-day life.

She uses practical talking therapy and helps clients notice how past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions emphasise empathy and respect, with the person at the centre of the work. Jemima aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Jemima holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP after her name. She has four years of experience working with a broad range of concerns, including mood problems, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship and intimacy difficulties. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image and multicultural issues.

Her methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches, and client-centred principles. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practise small behavioural steps between meetings.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Jemima also offers support around career, coaching, and practical coping strategies for sleep, eating and anger. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Jemima’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It often involves simple exercises to build values-based action and coping skills for anxiety, low mood or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating problems, and practical steps are set between sessions.

Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. These approaches help people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of responding to reduce conflict and increase connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether more ACT, CBT or attachment-focused work is most helpful for the person's situation.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, avoid travel and have shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to guide behavioural practice, offer reflective conversation and set manageable tasks to do between meetings.
