About Emma
Emma Dalgleish is a BACP counsellor with 22 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with relationship concerns, trauma, grief and anxiety. Emma aims to be respectful and compassionate in every session and adapts her approach to each persons needs.
Her background includes work on intimacy and psychosexual issues as well as helping people cope with loss. She also supports those facing stress, low self esteem, addiction concerns and mood difficulties.
Background and approach
Emma has broad experience across many other areas such as parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and neurodiversity related issues. In sessions she uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to build understanding of emotional patterns. She also draws on existential perspectives to help people find meaning, and the Gottman Method when relationships are a focus.
Hypnotherapy can be introduced when it fits the clients goals. Emma describes her style as empathic, honest and non-judgemental. She listens first, then works collaboratively to decide practical steps forward.
People can expect clear conversation and steady support as they talk through difficult feelings. She offers a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with booking following a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches that shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and supports building more stable connections.Client-Centred Therapy puts the persons experience at the centre and relies on empathic listening and acceptance. This approach helps people clarify their feelings, build self-trust and make choices that suit their values.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in a persons life. It can be useful for people facing big life changes, questions of purpose or feelings of emptiness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals and preferences together and may combine elements from different methods to suit each person. Decisions about technique are collaborative and reviewed as progress unfolds.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, reflection between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
