About Jemma
Jemma Rollison works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career concerns and depression using an integrative, client-led approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in the field.
Jemma encourages clear, practical conversation about what is causing distress. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change, and on small steps to manage overwhelming feelings. She listens without judgement and reflects back what seems important so clients can make clearer choices.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help challenge unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce stress.
Jemma also brings elements of Jungian thinking when appropriate, using imagination and symbols to understand recurring themes. She tailors the mix of approaches to the issue being addressed and to each person's preferences and pace.
Typical areas she helps with include abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, communication and commitment problems, blended family difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Practical goal-setting is part of sessions so progress can be reviewed together.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session via the Talk to a counsellor online button.
How Jemma uses approaches in remote counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and sense of security; this can help with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness therapy offers brief practices to build present-moment attention and reduce reactivity to stressful thoughts.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try different techniques together to see what fits. That process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit sessions around work, care commitments or treatment for long-term illness because it removes travel time and can allow shorter or more frequent check-ins. Others value being able to use techniques such as mindfulness between meetings to practise skills learned in sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor this to a client's needs and schedule.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
