About Emma
Emma Farrimond is a counsellor with 14 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. She offers a calm, practical space for parents and individuals who are facing loss, relationship strain, or major life changes. Emma works in plain language and focuses on small steps that make daily life easier to manage.
She trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds a BACP registration.
Background and approach
Over the years she has worked across employee assistance programmes and voluntary services, including bereavement support and domestic violence work. She also set up a counselling service for parents and carers of young children and has run a independent practice since 2014. In sessions Emma uses approaches that centre the person and focus on practical change.
She draws on Client-Centred ways of listening alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques for stress and anxiety. Solution-Focused ideas help when people want short-term goals and clear actions. People who bring long-term health issues, chronic pain or caring responsibilities often find her approach down-to-earth and flexible.
She also supports people dealing with grief, guilt, communication problems and work-related pressures. Emma aims to tailor each plan to the concerns a person brings and to work at a pace that feels manageable. Her style is respectful and compassionate, with attention to practical tools for sleeping, coping with anger, and rebuilding confidence.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered online via video, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different needs and schedules.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Emma uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as core approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers; it suits worries about self-worth, grief and life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches tools for managing anxiety, stress and sleep problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Emma will talk through your concerns and goals and suggest ways of working together. That planning is collaborative so you can try techniques and adjust what feels most useful over time.
Online therapy lets sessions fit around life. Video calls make it easy to have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want a way to check in between calls. These options help make regular contact more doable for busy or geographically-dispersed people.
