How therapy approaches help and work online
Jemma describes her practice as evidence-informed and practical, focussing on techniques that help with day-to-day coping and relationships. One common approach she uses is short-term practical work that identifies unhelpful patterns and tests small changes in thinking or behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps when people need clear steps to manage overwhelm or stress.She also adopts a neurodivergent-affirming stance, which means helping clients understand how their neurodivergent traits affect daily life and finding personalised strategies that fit their way of thinking. That approach supports better self-understanding and reduces the pressure to fit someone else's expectations.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose approaches based on a person's goals, needs and preferences. Sessions begin with listening and checking what feels most useful, and plans are adjusted as work progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around family life and busy schedules, and avoiding travel time so appointments can be easier to keep.
