Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher, BACP

Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She helps those coping with life changes, burnout, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Her approach is welcoming and non-judgemental, aiming to make overwhelming problems feel more manageable.

Jemma is autistic and has ADHD, and she uses that personal perspective to spot patterns of emotional and sensory overwhelm. She works in a calm, accepting way so clients can notice what’s keeping them stuck. Sessions focus on small, practical changes that lead to steadier days and clearer choices.

Her style is person-centred, with a strong mindfulness element. That means she listens first, and helps people find their own answers while offering simple exercises and reflections. Expect some psychoeducation and occasional creative tools to view problems differently.

Many people come feeling burnt out, perfectionistic, or trapped in self-critical loops. Jemma supports them to build more self-compassion, make decisions with greater confidence, and balance their needs alongside others. Progress often shows up as small shifts in daily life rather than instant fixes.

She usually recommends working consistently for three to six months, but tailors the plan to each person's situation. Before and after sessions, clients are encouraged to set aside short times to notice what they want to address and to reflect on what changed. This helps the work feel practical and relevant.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to you. It helps people find their own solutions by creating a space where they can say what they think and feel without pressure. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and major life changes.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Short mindfulness practices and grounding exercises can reduce the intensity of anxiety and help with burnout and sensory overwhelm.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose which methods and exercises suit your needs and pace. This is decided together, based on your goals and preferences, and can change as you progress.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for gentler check-ins on days when brief support helps. They also let people use practices and worksheets at home between sessions to build steady, practical change.
