Jemma Slater

I’m a warm, compassionate therapist who believes in your potential to grow and heal. I provide a space where you can be yourself and work towards becoming the best version of you. I understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.

I have worked with people experiencing mental health challenges for over 20 years, including in the Prison Service, where I supported individuals through complex and often difficult circumstances. This experience has strengthened my ability to offer balanced, non-judgemental care to anyone who needs it—always with your safety, dignity, and wellbeing at the heart of what I do.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. I provide online counselling for adults in a safe, confidential space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is person-centred therapy, meaning our sessions focus entirely on you—your experiences, your pace, and your goals.

Counselling can sound intense and scary so here is an overview of how I intend the sessions to progress:

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. You’ll have the space to talk about what has brought you to counselling, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we can focus on one area at a time, and when you feel ready, we can explore other concerns together.

You’re in control of what you choose to talk about. My role is to walk alongside you, helping us both gain a clearer understanding of what you’re experiencing and why, so we can work toward meaningful change.
