About Jemma
Jemma Brett is a BACP counsellor who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, low mood and changes in life. She draws on both professional training and personal experience to offer down-to-earth, compassionate care. Her style is calm and honest, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.
Jemma often helps people working through parenting pressures and the everyday demands of caring roles. She also supports those navigating neurodivergence, including ADHD, with an affirming approach that respects each person’s way of being.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Her sessions are straightforward and human. She listens first, then helps clients identify what matters and plan small, doable changes.
Jemma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the person in front of her rather than one fixed method. With four years of professional experience, she blends reflective listening with practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood and relationship stress. People often explore attachment concerns, communication issues, guilt, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Jemma offers appointments online in the United Kingdom. Sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines. She aims to make therapy accessible and workable for busy lives.
What Jemma works with
Everything Jemma lists, in their own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Jemma helps people with.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jemma works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses involves helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try out new ways of responding - this is useful for anxiety, low mood and social worries. Another strand involves looking at attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts, which helps with caregiver stress and parenting strains.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jemma will discuss different ways of working and test what fits best for a person’s goals and preferences. She makes decisions collaboratively and adjusts methods as progress becomes clearer.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging allow for shorter check-ins or threaded conversations across the week. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting and busy schedules.
