Welcome!
I’m an integrative counsellor working in a mostly person centred way with experience in trauma, women’s health, anxiety, depression, abuse and family/relationship difficulties. I also use a number of solution focused tools to help you with day to day function while we explore the deeper issues. I have worked successfully with somatic responses and the nervous system and have a particular interest in attachment.
I aim to provide a safe, relaxed and informal space to explore what you bring with you, and we will work together on finding an approach in a collaborative way.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jemma has been fantastic, i still have a way to go but the the progress I have made in such a short space of time with Jemma is amazing, couldn't recommend her enough
Very personable and patient. Feel listened too but also provides solutions which is the ultimate goal! Grateful for her expertise.
I still have a long way to go but Jemma has been instrumental in helping me with my issues with addiction and some bad habits I’ve picked up from my childhood. Not only do I understand my behaviour better and why I am the way I am and act the way I do, but Jemma has also helped put in place techniques to help me become a more well rounded individual.
Jemma is absolutely brilliant. She is extremely comfortable to talk to and open up to. She’s extremely supportive and offers possible solutions and causes to the way you feel. She has zero judgement and is just an amazing person.
