About Emily
Emily Chalder is a counsellor who practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership. She has six years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and loss. Her work also covers self-esteem, motivation and navigating life changes.
She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Emily uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of sessions. She adapts conversations to what each person needs, rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on understanding what matters most to the client and building practical ways to cope day to day. Her background includes work with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and anger. She also addresses career challenges, depression and ADHD, and supports people dealing with body image, divorce, isolation and related issues.
Emily pays attention to how these concerns affect everyday routines and wellbeing. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers. The aim is to increase confidence, reduce overwhelm and develop coping strategies that fit real life.
She supports exploration of guilt, shame, forgiveness and questions around sexuality or women’s issues. Emily offers straightforward, practical help for people who want change but feel stuck. She encourages small steps that add up to real difference.
Her style is calm, respectful and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person sitting in front of, or connected to, the therapist. It emphasises listening, empathy and respect, and helps people name what matters to them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and many life changes because it lets the client set the pace and topics.Working this way online means the therapist follows the person’s lead through conversation, questions and reflective listening. The counsellor helps the client clarify goals, try small coping steps and review what helps, adapting methods to suit each person’s needs in collaboration.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing, want shorter check-ins, or need flexible timing. These options give greater flexibility around work, family and travel, and make it easier to keep therapy going when life gets busy.
