About Jemma
Jemma Johnson is an AASW social worker with six years of clinical experience in Australia. They work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and have a focus on ADHD, autism, trauma recovery and LGBTQIA+ matters.
Jemma describes a down-to-earth, neuro-affirming approach. Sessions are collaborative and practical. They use flexible methods such as walking sessions, body-doubling while clients do tasks, and mapping how someone’s brain processes information to reduce overwhelm.
People come for help with self-worth, identity and unmasking so life feels more authentic. Jemma also supports those dealing with addictions, eating issues, chronic illness, compulsive behaviours and difficulties after abuse or domestic violence. They bring particular interest to attachment and abandonment issues.
Therapeutic work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are also used when helpful. The focus is on concrete steps that make daily life easier rather than abstract theories.
Sessions aim to be relaxed and paced to the person’s needs. Jemma emphasises practical tools for communication, emotion regulation and routine building. They invite clients to try approaches like walking or doing tasks together when that better supports progress.
Jemma practices in Australia and conducts therapy in English. People who want to start are asked to use the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking process.
How Jemma uses EFT and attachment ideas in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and work with difficult emotions that affect relationships and self-connection. It focuses on recognising emotional patterns and creating new ways of responding to strong feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.Jemma treats finding the right approach as a shared task. They will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the focus together. This collaborative way helps match EFT, attachment work or skills-based tools to a client's needs and preferences rather than sticking to one method.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and using different formats that suit how someone thinks and moves. The original biography describes flexible methods such as walking sessions and doing tasks alongside a therapist, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to include shorter check-ins, use tools that map thinking patterns, or combine conversation with activity for people who prefer that style. Ask about session length and format when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit your routine.
