About Emma
Emma Manthy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who commonly supports people struggling with stress and anxiety. She works with many other concerns too, including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, grief, mood difficulties and challenges related to neurodiversity. Emma uses a warm, respectful approach and aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
She has nine years' experience in therapeutic work and also practises as a health and wellbeing coach.
Background and approach
That combination means she often blends reflective conversation with practical steps people can try between sessions. Emma also designs and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. In sessions she listens first and helps clients identify what matters most to them.
She draws on a mix of approaches to suit the issue and the individual. That can mean using practical thinking tools, mindfulness practices, or values-based exercises to help people move forward. Emma describes her style as sensitive and compassionate.
She aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where worries can be talked through and plans can be made. People who want straightforward, down-to-earth help with anxiety and related problems often find this approach useful. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, from relationship and communication problems to chronic health issues and eating-related difficulties.
Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to achieve, with attention to realistic, manageable steps towards change.
How Emma uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps towards those values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, mood problems and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss options with you and choose what fits your aims, preferences and the problems you bring. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as you progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins work well over chat, and messaging can suit ongoing support or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while still allowing a structured therapeutic process.
