Jemma Johnson, AASW

Jemma Johnson (AASW) is a therapeutic social worker in Australia with six years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship challenges, and identity work. They work with a broad range of concerns including ADHD, autism, eating and addictive behaviours, parenting and attachment issues, and LGBTQIA+ matters, with additional attention to body image, chronic illness and disability, and co-morbid presentations.

Jemma brings a down-to-earth, neuro-affirming approach shaped by their own lived experience of neurodivergence. Their practice is intentionally flexible and creative, offering alternatives to traditional talk-only sessions such as walking therapy in nature, body-doubling while clients complete tasks, and mapping cognitive processing patterns to reduce overwhelm. These practical options aim to make therapy accessible for different ways of thinking and living.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to real-life goals, focusing on rebuilding authenticity, strengthening self-worth, and unmasking identity in ways that feel sustainable. Jemma uses a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each person's needs, drawing from attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioural strategies, trauma-focused work, mindfulness, emotion-focused techniques, and solution-focused interventions. They welcome clients who prefer a relaxed, practical atmosphere and who want step-by-step support to create meaningful change.
