About Emily

Emily Chalder is a counsellor who practises in the United Kingdom and lists registration with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings six years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Her style is warm and respectful and she aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Emily works from a client-centred approach. That means she focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responds in a way that feels helpful to them.

Background and approach

She offers straightforward, calm conversations where people can talk about what matters most to them. She helps with common life problems such as coping with change, work-related strain, sleep difficulties and parenting pressures. She also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship strain, anger, depression and compassion fatigue.

Issues such as ADHD, autism and body image are listed as areas she pays attention to when they come up in sessions. Sessions aim to build a person’s confidence and coping skills. Emily encourages small practical steps alongside talking things through.

That could be trying new ways to manage stress, setting boundaries at work, or exploring feelings after loss. Her approach is collaborative. Clients shape what happens in sessions and Emily adapts her responses to each person’s pace.

The focus is on helping people find clearer ways forward and feel more able to manage day-to-day life.

Ways of working Emily names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. The counsellor offers acceptance and empathy, which helps people feel understood and more able to talk about difficult feelings. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and coping with life transitions.

In practice, Emily adapts the client-centred style to online formats so conversations remain person-led and respectful. Together the therapist and client explore what matters most, agree on goals and adjust the way they meet as progress is made. Choosing the right approach is part of the work and it is decided collaboratively based on needs, goals and personal preference.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial expressions and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer not to use a camera, or those who find it easier to write about feelings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
