About Emily
Emily Bolland is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage anxiety and stress. She is clear and calm in sessions and aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable. Emily works in English and practises online using a range of session formats.
She brings six years of experience from roles in community mental health and neurodevelopmental assessment services. That background means she is used to helping people with complex needs, including trauma, depression and mood difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with ADHD, body image concerns, chronic illness and other long‑standing problems. In therapy she uses a mix of modern cognitive approaches and psychodynamic and humanistic ideas. That combination allows focus on current skills and the life patterns that shape feelings.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to the person in front of her. Sessions often include talking through difficult moments, building coping strategies for anxious thoughts, and noticing patterns that keep problems going. Practical tools and gentle reflection are used together so people can try different ways of responding between sessions.
Emily is working on a doctorate in psychology, researching suicidal thoughts and behaviours with young adults. She brings that research perspective to her work while keeping sessions focused on what will help now. Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Third wave cognitive approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment techniques focus on noticing thoughts and gently changing how you respond to them. These methods teach practical skills for managing anxiety and mood and can be practised between sessions.
Psychodynamic work looks at life patterns and relationships to understand why certain feelings keep returning. This kind of reflection helps when problems feel linked to past experiences or repeated relationship dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress unfolds. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching techniques to the person's needs.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face to face conversation for in depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and text messaging suit short check ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to speak aloud. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
