Background and approach

Her approach draws on Client-Centred principles and Existential ideas, with mindfulness and present-moment awareness woven into sessions. That means the focus is on the person in front of her, exploring values, choices and what matters now. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with anxiety, sleep and stress management.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Emily aims to build a trusting space where clients can talk through painful experiences and test out new ways of coping. She pays attention to everyday difficulties such as parenting strain, workplace stress, and changes after loss.

Emily also supports people facing more specific issues such as ADHD, chronic illness, codependency, attachment and adoption-related concerns. She accepts international clients and works in English using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How Emily’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person as an individual. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters to the client, helping people find their own answers and build confidence in small steps. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and choice. It helps people facing major life questions, grief, identity or career crossroads to clarify what matters and make intentional decisions. That work often supports people coping with life changes and feelings of aimlessness.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and the body. Simple mindfulness practices can reduce stress, improve sleep and make strong emotions easier to manage during daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor the way she works. That collaborative process means the method can shift over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can fit around work or busy days. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
