About Emily
Emily Pemberton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She works in a calm, steady way and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical ways to feel less overwhelmed day to day.
She uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
That means listening closely, reflecting back what is heard, and helping people make sense of their feelings. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques are also part of her work, offering tools for emotion regulation and coping with intense states. Emily trained to a postgraduate level in Person-Centred therapy and holds BACP accreditation.
She has five years' experience working with concerns such as relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people with ADHD, attachment or abandonment worries, chronic illness, body image, and loneliness. In sessions she aims to be attentive and gently direct, balancing warmth with clear reflections.
Practical skills and small steps are introduced alongside space to talk about painful memories and difficult feelings. The goal is to help people find relief and gradually build confidence to live as they want. Therapy is offered in formats to suit busy lives, and Emily describes the therapeutic relationship as the central tool for change.
She encourages people to approach therapy with realistic expectations and to set the pace themselves.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. It involves close listening, reflective responses and letting the client set the pace. This approach helps when someone needs steady support while they make sense of feelings and decisions.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or DBT provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing distressing behaviours. In online sessions these skills can be taught and practised with coaching, for example breathing and grounding exercises, emotion regulation strategies, and techniques for improving interpersonal interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That process is flexible and adapts as needs and goals change over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, sharing updates between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it around everyday commitments.
