Emma Rigg
Practical support for stress and life changes
About Emma
Emma Rigg offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She speaks plainly and listens without judgement. Emma encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while she helps them make sense of what is happening now.
With six years of professional experience, Emma focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She also helps people facing major life changes and a wide range of linked issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation.
Background and approach
Emma works from an attachment-based and client-centred perspective. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape current struggles and follows the client’s lead during sessions. Conversations are practical and grounded - she aims to help people identify small, usable steps they can try between meetings.
Emma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English, and she does not take international clients. Her approach is collaborative, respectful and paced to each person’s needs.
People who prefer clear, empathetic conversation and a focus on relationship patterns often find her style accessible. Emma supports clients to explore their story and to test new ways of coping that fit everyday life.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emma uses attachment-based work to look at how past and present relationships influence current difficulties. This approach helps when worries link back to trust, abandonment or patterns with other people. Client-centred therapy means the conversation follows the person in front of her. The focus is on understanding a person’s experience and building on their strengths rather than using a fixed agenda.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will check in about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will adapt her style as the relationship develops. The choice of method and pace is a shared decision made to fit the client’s needs.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a closer face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life, and they allow different ways of connecting depending on what suits each person.
