About Emily

Emily Hodson is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people through trauma, grief, low self-esteem and the pressures of parenting. She works with adults and children and aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and begin to find their own answers.

Emily brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and uses mindfulness and creative techniques to support change. Over the last three years she has concentrated on counselling work.

Background and approach

Before that she spent many years in broader mental health roles, which gave her experience with a range of needs. More recently Emily worked in creative recovery projects in the community, using arts and flexible methods to help people express themselves. She has also worked as a school counsellor for nine months, which informed her approach to supporting parents and young people.

Those roles encouraged practical ways to explore feelings rather than relying on jargon or long explanations. Emily adapts her methods to what feels right in the moment. Emily holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She uses that professional framework to guide her practice while tailoring sessions to each persons goals. Her sessions often include short mindfulness exercises and creative tasks that suit the individual's needs. Clients can expect straightforward, empathic conversation and simple tools to try between sessions.

Emily aims to help people build steadier routines, clearer boundaries and a kinder relationship with themselves.

Focus areas and approaches

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

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Emily often draws on person-centred counselling which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem and working through grief in a paced way.

She also uses mindfulness techniques that involve brief breathing and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm. These practices help when symptoms of depression, anxiety or trauma make it hard to focus or make decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will discuss different methods with each person and adapt techniques to fit their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with practical steps agreed together and reviewed over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls let people use face-to-face contact when that feels helpful, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from different locations.
