About Emily

Emily Pemberton is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk about hard things at their own pace. Emily has five years of practice and works in the United Kingdom.

Emily uses a warm, person-focused style in sessions. She pays attention to details and offers gentle reflections to help people understand what is happening for them.

Background and approach

She places importance on the relationship in therapy as the base for making changes. Her work addresses common problems such as low mood, self-esteem, anger and parenting strain. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and the effects of chronic illness or long-term pain.

Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Emily draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques to shape sessions. That means she focuses on the person in front of her and also uses practical skills for managing intense emotions when needed.

Sessions move at a pace set by the client and aim to build skills alongside understanding. Emily is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She offers work in English and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule times that suit them.

Ways of working Emily names

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

How Emily blends person-focused work with online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy starts from the idea that people grow when they are listened to without judgement. In practice this means Emily focuses on understanding your experience, offering empathy and reflecting what she hears so you can make sense of things. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and handling relationship stress. These skills can help when anxiety, anger or intense moods get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emily will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adapt her style to fit what you need. That collaboration helps decide whether conversations, skill practice or a mix of both will help you most.

Online therapy makes those options easier to use. Video calls let you meet face to face when that matters. Phone sessions and live chat suit shorter check-ins or quieter connections with less bandwidth. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection and quick touch-ins between sessions. These formats give flexibility for people juggling work, parenting or health demands while still getting regular therapeutic support.
