About Emily

Emily Foord is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people face stress, anxiety and life changes. She aims to work alongside clients rather than tell them what to do, and she focuses on helping people find clearer ways to cope and feel more connected with themselves. Emily is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Emily draws on a background that includes a BSc degree in Psychology and a diploma in integrative counselling.

Background and approach

Her experience spans residential addiction and mental health treatment and charitable counselling, where she led both group and individual sessions and ran psycho-educational work. That variety gives her practical exposure to addictive behaviours and emotional patterns. In sessions she aims for a non-judgemental tone and steady pace.

She offers time to pause, reflect and make changes that suit each person. Work may involve looking at attachment and abandonment concerns, managing compulsions or addressing relationship and intimacy issues. Emily also supports people struggling with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, career-related stress and grief around family of origin problems.

She can discuss obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic and phobias, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use. People who prefer talking in different ways can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Emily accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international clients, and she aims to match her approach to what each person needs.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Emily commonly uses approaches grounded in evidence-based practice that focus on behaviour change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns and developing small, practical steps to reduce compulsive or addictive behaviours; this is useful for process addictions, gambling and problematic pornography use. Another approach focuses on emotional regulation and openness to feeling, helping people tolerate difficult emotions and reduce shame and isolation, which can support work with grief, compassion fatigue and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods based on how a person responds. Together they decide which techniques best fit the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be chosen for lower bandwidth or when being off camera helps. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, prompt support between sessions and a written record of reflections to revisit later. These options let people arrange therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
