Jemma Brett, BACP

Jemma Brett is a grounded, empathic therapist based in the United Kingdom who supports adults navigating stressful and significant life moments. She blends professional training with lived experience to offer therapy that feels honest, human, and affirming, creating a calm, down-to-earth space where people are listened to and understood.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood, loss, identity, parenting, and neurodivergence. Jemma has a particular interest in neurodivergent-affirming practice and aims to help clients find ways to thrive while navigating the world on their own terms. She also supports people with depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, and related challenges such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, mood disorders, self-love, and social anxiety.

Jemma has four years of clinical experience and holds the BACP credential, meaning she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works collaboratively with adults to tailor evidence-based therapeutic techniques to each person’s needs, preferences, and goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Jemma draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding patterns. One common strand in her work is skills-based work that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, building strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood in daily life. Another key element is attachment-informed work that explores relationship patterns and early experiences to improve connection, communication, and emotional regulation - this can be helpful for issues like caregiver stress, separation, and chronic relationship difficulties. She also emphasises neurodivergent-affirming practice, adapting therapeutic pace and methods to suit how each person processes information and relates to the world.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jemma works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques fit best with their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can be arranged via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to access therapy around work, family, and daily commitments and supports ongoing, consistent work with registered professionals and therapists regardless of location within the United Kingdom.
