About Emma
Emma Poxon is a non-binary counsellor who aims to make talking about hard things easier. They offer a calm, warm space where people can bring worries about anxiety, stress, grief, relationships and life changes. Emma keeps the tone honest and non-judgemental so people can speak freely about what matters to them.
Emma uses a person-centred approach, which means the client leads the work and the counsellor follows. Sessions focus on what the person is experiencing now, and on helping them reconnect with their own strengths.
Background and approach
Emma describes their role as supportive rather than directive, offering empathy and acceptance instead of fixed solutions. They hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, and are listed with NCPS. Emma has four years of practical experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and addiction, among others.
This mix of academic and practical experience shapes a reflective, person-led style. In sessions, Emma will check in regularly about goals and what is helpful. Some people prefer open, unstructured conversations and others benefit from more routine check-ins; Emma adapts to both.
The pace and focus are decided together, so progress reflects the client’s priorities. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Emma offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make accessing support easier for different routines and needs.
How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, offering support without directing the conversation. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, trauma and issues around identity by allowing people to explore what matters to them at their own pace.Emma uses person-centred principles in online sessions, adapting to each person’s rhythm and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will discuss goals and ways of working with the client. Decisions about session structure, length and focus are taken together so the work fits the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are closest to face-to-face conversation and work well for in-depth reflection. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs less screen time or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, shorter reflections and more flexible timing to fit around work or caring responsibilities.
These options make it simpler to arrange regular contact and to choose the format that suits day-to-day life. Registered or accredited professionals can help identify which format will best support the client’s goals and preferences.
