About Jemma
Jemma Johnson is a non-binary therapeutic social worker who brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. They use a flexible, neuro-affirming approach that adapts to how each person thinks and lives. Jemma works with codependency as part of a broad focus on relationships, self-worth and identity.
Jemma has six years' experience and holds AASW, which is shown as their credential. Sessions are collaborative and relaxed, with an emphasis on small, doable steps. Jemma aims to help people unmask and rebuild a life that feels authentic rather than follow a one-size-fits-all plan.
Their practice blends hands-on methods with reflective conversation. That can look like mapping how someone’s brain processes information, body-doubling to get through everyday tasks, or taking a walk while talking things through. These options are chosen to reduce overwhelm and make progress feel realistic.
You can bring issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, eating and addictive behaviours, or questions about gender and sexual identity. Jemma also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency, chronic illness and communication problems.
Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer self-understanding. Jemma works at a steady pace and checks in often so goals stay useful and reachable. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they feel unsafe or overly responsible in relationships and supports building more secure ways of connecting.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, helping them name feelings and make choices that feel right. This approach suits issues of identity, self-worth and exploring life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jemma will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean trying skills-based CBT techniques for anxiety or using attachment ideas to address codependency. The choice is guided by what feels helpful and practical.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make regular meetings easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time and allow for different ways of working such as standing, walking or using visual maps during a call. For some people, shorter check-ins or sessions without video are a practical option that lets them keep progress going between face-to-face meetings.
