Jemima Pearson, BACP

Jemima Pearson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and self-esteem difficulties, depression, grief, anger, addictions and life changes. She also supports people facing intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, career questions, and coaching-style goals.

Jemima uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to help people understand what keeps them stuck. In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thought and behaviour. Attachment-based work and emotionally-focused methods are used to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions.

Her way of working follows client-centred principles. Sessions aim to be straightforward and honest. People are invited to talk through current problems, look at past experiences that affect them now, and try new responses that feel manageable.

She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with CBT and attachment-aware thinking when addressing anger, ongoing resentment, or repeated conflicts. That can mean learning to notice triggers, practising specific coping steps, and trying different ways of relating to others.

Jemima has additional experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and disability, body image and multicultural concerns. She sees emotional difficulties alongside practical life pressures such as money, work and caring roles. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
