About Jemma
Jemma Johnson is an AASW social worker who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical, person-centred ways of working. Jemma writes plainly and meets people where they are. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build routines that fit day-to-day life.
Jemma has six years of clinical experience and brings a down-to-earth, neuro-affirming style. They are non-binary and attentive to gender and identity concerns, including work with people from the LGBT community and those exploring gender dysphoria.
Background and approach
Common areas addressed include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Practical supports are part of the work. Jemma offers body-doubling for household tasks, walking sessions in nature, and mapping thinking patterns to make sense of intense feelings.
These approaches are mixed with cognitive and mindfulness strategies when helpful. Jemma also helps with ADHD, autism and related sensory or processing challenges, along with addictions, eating concerns and relationship difficulties. Sessions are collaborative - the therapist and client set small, achievable steps together.
People can expect relaxed sessions that aim for real-life change rather than perfect progress. Jemma uses tools from Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to help people understand connection and grow self-worth, then draws on CBT and DBT skills for emotion regulation and behaviour changes.

Online support
Emotion and connection in online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It supports work on attachment, trust and how past hurts shape present reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles affect current relationships and sense of safety; it helps people recognise and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, offering acceptance and active listening to help clarify values and goals.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying different ways of working and adjusting over time rather than committing to one path from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time are limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping the therapeutic focus on emotion, attachment and practical change.
