Jemma Rollison is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career concerns and depression. She keeps things straightforward and practical, listening first and working at the client’s pace. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and finding small, manageable steps forward.

Jemma draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred approaches that put the person’s priorities at the heart of each session.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Jungian themes and mindfulness practices are used where they suit the client’s needs. In practice she creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what feels hard. Conversations explore feelings, habitual responses and practical changes that might help reduce distress.

The work is collaborative - the client’s experience shapes the plan. Jemma has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She works with a wide range of issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

She also supports people dealing with codependency, communication problems and separation. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in various formats. People who want to begin are invited to press the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice relational patterns, understand triggers and practise different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work and relies on active listening and empathy. In an online setting this approach gives space for clients to set the pace and choose what to focus on during sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and try practical experiments to change them. It’s often used for anxiety, stress and mood concerns and works well through video or phone sessions where homework and behavioural tasks can be agreed and reviewed.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work together with the client to decide what fits their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with one method and mixing in others over time. The plan is flexible and shaped by progress, feedback and what feels most useful.

Online therapy here can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who want to write things out between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
