Jemima Fisher

Do you struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, insecurity, feeling overwhelmed or a challenging relationship? Are you finding it difficult being a new mum, going through the menopause, recovering from abuse or moving past trauma? Have you lost your sense of self? Perhaps you find yourself always putting others first, never saying ‘no’ and feeling like your opinions/desires are not important? Do any of these struggles affect your daily life, relationships and enjoyment, and you wonder if life is always going to feel this hard? But it is possible to live your life in a happier, more positive way. Life won’t always feel this hard.

Hi, my name is Jemima and a qualified counsellor. I provide both short- and long-term integrative counselling to adults of all ages, offering face-to-face or online sessions. I am based in both York and Pickering, North Yorkshire. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and abide by their code of ethics.

I offer a customised approach so you feel safe and heard; so you can understand yourself and the world around you. We start with exploring your challenges and understanding where you are now, then we can work towards moving forward by reframing your self-perceptions and experiences. Helping you live a better life is my passion.

Although it feels impossible, it’s never too late to change yourself and how you respond to situations and people; it demonstrates strength and courage to start that journey and seek support. I specialise in women's issues and my aim to help you find your inner empowerment, strength and resilience. I use compassion, empathy and no judgement. All are welcome.

Issues can help you with:

• Women's issues
• Women's mental health
• Couples / marriage relationship issues
• Impact of women's physical health issues
• Menopause
• Motherhood/parenting
• Birth trauma
• Infertility
• Trauma
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Loss and bereavement
• Low self-esteem
• Managing of, and ways to express emotions
• Intimacy and sexual difficulties
• Relationship issues
• Disconnection from self or the world
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Body image
• Identity
• Fear and anxiety about the future, health issues or relationships
• Re-finding yourself after being in an abusive/coercive relationship

I am also available for couples and marriage communication difficulties, and also other relationships such as adult children and parent conflicts. These issues can be hard to resolve without a mediator, and understanding the differences between each which have lead to communication breakdowns.
