Therapy Session

Therapy tailored for you

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. We will begin by developing an understanding of what you are experiencing, what may be keeping you stuck and what you would like to change.

I draw on CBT, EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, adapting therapy to your individual needs, experiences and goals.

Whether you are struggling with something happening now or finding that experiences from the past continue to affect you, we can work together to understand what is happening and find a way forward.

About Me

Hi, I'm Jemma, an experienced CBT & EMDR therapist, offering online support for a range of emotional difficulties.

My journey into therapy began with a deep desire to understand what drives our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, especially when facing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives, helping them move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to a place of clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. ​​

I took my first step into the field of mental health 20 years ago. ​Working across the NHS, private sector, and online therapy services, I have supported individuals with a wide range of challenges—from everyday stress and low mood to complex PTSD and deeply ingrained fears. Over time, I became increasingly drawn to evidence-based therapies that empower people to break free from unhelpful patterns and build emotional resilience.​ ​ ​​​As a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), EMDR Practitioner, and Interpersonal Psychotherapist (IPT), I specialise in helping individuals process past experiences, manage overwhelming emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether through EMDR for trauma recovery, CBT for anxiety and depression or ACT and CFT to build emotional strength, my approach is always tailored to your unique needs.​ ​ Today, I offer online therapy and some limited availability for face to face appointments for adults (17+), providing a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I understand that reaching out for help can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to take that first step towards lasting change, I’m here to support you on your journey.
