Psychotherapy in London for Young Adults
Meet Your Therapist
Jemima Pearson
As an integrative psychotherapist specialising in adolescents and young adults, I really value taking the time to get to know you and understand who you are as a whole person. I’m curious about the experiences that have shaped you, what has brought you to therapy, and what you hope to feel different through our work together.
Therapy gives us the space to look a little more closely at the things that can be difficult to understand on your own. My approach is thoughtful, relational and collaborative. I’ll bring my perspective and experience, and together we can explore what’s going on for you, understand what might be happening beneath the surface and find ways forward that feel most meaningful to you.
Areas of Support
Anxiety & Stress
If anxiety feels as though it's always one step ahead of you, therapy can help you understand what's driving it and develop healthier ways of coping.
Low Mood & Depression
When life feels heavy, even everyday tasks can feel overwhelming. Therapy offers a space to understand what's beneath those feelings and begin finding your way forward.
Trauma
Past experiences can continue to shape the way you think, feel and relate to others. Therapy can support you to understand their lasting impact in a way that feels safe, supportive and at your own pace.
Identity & Sense of Self
Questioning who you are or where you belong is more common than you may think. Together, we'll explore what has shaped your sense of self, helping you build a clearer understanding of who you are and cultivating your own confidence to trust your decisions.
Self-Esteem & Self-Worth
How we see ourselves is often shaped by our experiences and relationships. Together, we'll gently explore what's influenced your self-esteem and self-worth, helping you reconnect with your strengths and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Disordered Eating
Your relationship with food and your body is often shaped by deeper experiences. Together, we'll explore these with compassion and curiosity, working towards a healthier and more balanced relationship with yourself.
Relationship & Family Difficulties
Relationships can bring both comfort and challenge. Together, we'll explore the patterns shaping your relationships, helping you develop healthier communication, stronger boundaries and more meaningful connections.
School, University & Life Transitions
Periods of change can leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves. Together, we'll explore what this transition means for you and help you move through it with greater clarity and confidence.
Grief & Loss
Loss can change the way we experience ourselves, our relationships and the world around us. Together, we'll create space for your grief, allowing you to process it in your own way and at your own pace.
ADHD, Autism & Neurodivergence
Whether you have ADHD, autism or are exploring your neurodivergent identity, therapy offers a supportive space to better understand yourself, embrace your strengths and navigate life's challenges in a way that works for you.
Therapy Tailored to You,
Not A One-Size-Fits-All Approach
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from different therapeutic approaches and ways of thinking. This allows me to shape our work around you and what you need at different points in the process.
Sometimes this might mean looking at how your past is influencing the present, while at other times we might focus more practically on what could help you here and now, developing tools and skills that you can carry with you into the future.
What feels important or helpful may naturally shift along the way. Having the flexibility to respond to this allows therapy to evolve as you do, rather than asking you to fit into a particular way of doing therapy.
Finding the right therapist is an important first step.
If you'd like to learn more or arrange an initial consultation, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
