Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher, BACP

Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore what is holding them back and begin to move forward. She recognises how overwhelming anxiety, perfectionism, and persistent self-doubt can feel, and how tiring it is to be stuck in self-critical loops that make everyday decisions harder.

She is autistic and has ADHD, and that lived experience informs her clinical lens. This perspective helps her notice patterns, understand emotional and sensory overwhelm, and hold an accepting, adaptable space for clients whether they are neurodivergent or not. Her aim is to help people feel calmer, more confident, and better able to take control of their lives.

People commonly come to Jemma feeling burnt out, stuck, or overwhelmed by self-criticism. Through collaborative work, many begin to notice small but meaningful shifts - greater ease in daily life, increased confidence when making decisions, and an improved ability to balance personal needs alongside responsibilities to others.

Jemma specialises in anxiety, perfectionism, and low self-esteem, and she also supports adults facing life transitions, stress, burnout, and relationship difficulties. Her approach is holistic and integrative, drawing on client-centered and humanistic principles alongside mindfulness-based methods. In practice this often includes practical exercises and reflections, creative tools to offer fresh perspectives, and psychoeducation where useful, all delivered at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

She usually recommends a consistent commitment of around 3 to 6 months to get the most from counselling, while remaining flexible to individual circumstances. Jemma holds the BACP credential - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has five years of professional experience supporting people across a range of concerns.
