Background and approach
She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, chronic illness, body image and isolation concerns. In sessions she listens closely and reflects what she hears. This helps people slow down and make sense of difficult feelings.
She uses client-centred work alongside elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing overwhelm. Appointments are offered online in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English. Emily offers a mix of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs and rhythms of life.
People usually begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling the first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches and online session options
Emily uses Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) approaches in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions; it suits those who need space to talk and be heard. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling relationship tensions, which can help with anger, anxiety and self-regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Emily will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt sessions so the approach fits the person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still getting regular support from registered or accredited professionals.
