About Emily

Emily Foord uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and works alongside clients to find practical ways forward. Emily holds a BACP registration and draws on six years of experience supporting people through difficult changes.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. She focuses on understanding patterns that keep problems going, and on small changes that add up.

Background and approach

Sessions often include talking through triggers, building coping skills, and noticing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Emily has worked in residential addiction and mental health settings and in charitable counselling roles. That background means she is familiar with group work, one-to-one support, and psycho-educational sessions.

She also has training related to motivational approaches and behaviour change. Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including parenting strain, intimacy-related difficulties, family of origin issues, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and grief or guilt. Emily also supports people dealing with process addictions such as problematic gambling or porn use, and those coping with isolation or compassion fatigue.

Work with Emily typically aims to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She helps people set realistic goals and practises new ways of responding between sessions. The focus is on simple, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. This can reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and low mood by teaching skills to manage triggers and intrusive thoughts.

Another helpful method emphasises motivation and gradual behaviour change. It uses short, structured conversations to explore what matters to someone and to build small, achievable steps towards healthier routines. This is useful for addictive behaviours, process addictions, and when people feel stuck or ambivalent about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest techniques that seem likely to help. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on what works in practice.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and reading non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, emotion regulation between sessions, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel schedules.
