About Emily

Emily Callaghan is a counsellor with six years of practice in the United Kingdom and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Emily uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques and a calm approach to help people think clearly and take practical steps forward.

She aims to make sessions a place where clients can speak openly without fear of judgement.

Background and approach

Emily spends time building trust and listening closely before suggesting ways to manage difficult feelings. Sessions often include problem-solving, pacing emotional work, and practising different ways of responding to situations. Her work also covers related concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and problems with communication or control.

She supports people dealing with divorce, guilt, shame, impulsivity and feelings of isolation or purposelessness. Emily tailors each session to the issue the person brings in that moment. Practical tools are offered alongside space to talk.

People can expect to leave sessions with small steps to try between meetings. Emily encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she adapts her approach as needs change. For anyone worried about starting therapy, Emily acknowledges that first steps can feel hard and she aims to make the process predictable and manageable.

Her goal is to help clients regain a sense of balance and move toward clearer choices.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Emily lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Emily uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage difficult symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. One common approach is brief, skills-focused work that teaches tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding and simple behavioural steps. This helps people reduce overwhelm and cope better in stressful moments.

Another strand of work focuses on talking through relationship patterns and attachment concerns. This involves looking at how past experiences shape current reactions and practising new ways to communicate and set boundaries. It can be useful for people dealing with separation, communication problems, or feelings of abandonment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Plans are reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant and helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a short check-in. Live chat and text messaging support people who prefer writing or need ongoing brief contact between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
