Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher
Compassionate, practical support for overwhelm
About Jemma
Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, burnout and major life changes. She supports those dealing with ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and parenting pressures. Jemma aims to make sessions feel calm and practical so people can try small changes straight away.
She is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience and works with a wide range of issues including compassion fatigue, career worries and family-related stress.
Background and approach
She is autistic and has ADHD, and says this shapes the way she notices sensory and emotional patterns. That perspective helps her tune into how overwhelm shows up in daily life. Jemma uses a person-centred way of working alongside mindfulness practices.
Sessions often include simple exercises, short reflections and accessible psychoeducation. She keeps things paced to the individual's needs and avoids rushing into heavy work before someone feels ready. Practical tools and creative ideas are offered when they might help, and learning is broken into manageable steps.
She encourages people to notice small shifts such as clearer decision-making, easier routines and less self-critical thinking. Jemma also suggests ways to prepare for sessions so conversations feel more focused and useful. She recommends a short programme of regular sessions to build progress, typically over three to six months, but tailors plans to each person's situation.
People who want a calm, observant and steady counsellor often find her approach helpful for making real, everyday change.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches online
Jemma uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual's experience and priorities. This means counselling centres on what matters to the person, with the counsellor offering reflection, gentle challenge and practical suggestions that follow the client's lead. Mindfulness therapy is also part of her work and teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily signals and emotions so they are less overwhelming; this often helps with anxiety, stress and self-critical thinking.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jemma will discuss options and try small techniques to see what fits, then adjust the way she works according to the client's goals and preferences. That process helps build a plan that feels manageable and relevant rather than fixed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel and visual connection, phone calls can fit a short break at work or need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflections or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caring duties and day-to-day life.
