Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher, BACP

Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher offers support for people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and burnout. She also helps with depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, grief and the effects of trauma. Jemma writes simply and directly, aiming to make sessions feel calm and manageable for someone who is overwhelmed.

Jemma is autistic and has ADHD, and she uses that lived experience to spot patterns and sensory or emotional overwhelm. She works in a person-centred way, listening first and tailoring the pace to each person. Practical exercises and reflective tasks are used alongside simple psychoeducation when useful.

Sessions often bring small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. People tend to notice more ease in daily life, clearer decisions and less self-critical thinking over time. Jemma encourages building self-compassion and practical skills for managing perfectionism and anxiety.

Her approach is integrative, blending client-centred methods with mindfulness-informed practices. Creative tools are used at times to open new perspectives and make difficult topics easier to approach. Everything is offered in ways that feel manageable and realistic.

Jemma recommends consistent work for meaningful change and usually suggests a few months of regular sessions, but plans are flexible. She encourages clients to set aside a little time before and after sessions to reflect and get the most from each appointment.

Client-centred and mindfulness approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client. This approach can help with low self-esteem, anxiety and feeling stuck by creating room to explore what matters to you.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple, present-moment practices to reduce overwhelm and improve attention to thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, perfectionism and burnout because it teaches small, practical ways to step out of automatic reactions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time so therapy fits what you want to achieve.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when that suits a day. It can also make sessions feel less intense for some people by allowing more control over the surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises used in person so they work remotely and still support steady progress.
