Jemma Brett, BACP

Jemma Brett is a counsellor who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood and the everyday strain of parenting. She also helps people coping with life changes and those living with ADHD. Jemma aims to create an honest, human space where people can be heard and begin to sort out what matters to them.

Her way of working is down-to-earth and compassionate. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Jemma draws on both professional training and her own lived experience to shape sessions that feel affirming and realistic.

She offers neurodivergent-affirming support and helps people find strategies that match how they experience the world. That can mean working on routines, sensory overwhelm, or communication styles that reduce daily stress.

Jemma also pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment issues that show up in adult life. She can help people untangle control problems, guilt, shame, isolation and low self-worth so they can make different choices going forward.

Her practice is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a practical focus on what helps day-to-day. Jemma has four years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.

How evidence-based ways of working translate to online help

Two common evidence-based approaches are practical problem-solving and neurodivergent-affirming work. Practical problem-solving focuses on identifying clear steps and small changes you can try between sessions to reduce stress and improve routines. Neurodivergent-affirming work means adjusting strategies to fit how someone experiences attention, sensory input and social interaction, so support feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

A short-term focus on skills and routines often sits alongside exploring underlying feelings and attachment patterns. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day realities rather than imposing a single method.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a shorter break. Some approaches translate well to remote conversations and practical exercises that you can try at home, while others benefit from a bit more time to reflect between meetings. Discussing how sessions will run is part of the first steps when arranging therapy with a registered or accredited professional.
