Meet Jemima
Integrative psychotherapist specialising in early adulthood
I am genuinely passionate about working with people during this stage of life. It can be a time of enormous change, navigating relationships, identity, independence and figuring out who you are, who you want to be and how you want to live.
What I value about therapy is how the relationship we build along the way helps to understand yourself more deeply and make changes in the areas of your life that matter most. My hope is that our sessions feel like somewhere you can be open, curious and completely yourself. There will be moments that feel difficult and uncomfortable but I can assure you there will always be warmth and at times humour along the way.
More often than not, we realise that something isn’t working but still find ourselves returning to familiar patterns in our relationships, thoughts or emotions. Together, we’ll be curious about where these patterns may have come from, why they might still be showing up and what could begin to feel different. I really believe that understanding ourselves a little better can open up the possibility for change, in the best kind of way.
My Background
A multicultural perspective
Having grown up across the United Arab Emirates, Asia, Australia, America and Europe, I’ve spent much of my life moving between different cultures, communities and ways of seeing the world.
From an early age, I became aware of what it feels like to adapt to different environments and navigate questions of identity and belonging. My upbringing gave me a real appreciation for how differently we can each experience the world and how important it is to feel understood for who we are. It’s important to me that my practice feels welcoming and inclusive of people from all backgrounds, cultures and identities.
Living across different cultures has also given me a genuine curiosity about people and the perspectives we each bring with us. I’m interested in understanding who you are, what matters to you and how you see the world.
