About Emma

Emma Barty brings nine years of counselling experience to her work. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practices online with people across the United Kingdom and beyond. Emma keeps sessions straightforward and practical, focusing on what matters to each person who reaches out.

Her background includes work with bereavement services and mental health charities. Emma uses a range of ways to help people, including talking, mindfulness, movement and somatic techniques.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and mood difficulties. Emma adapts her approach to the person in front of her. Some sessions use client-centred conversation to help someone feel heard.

Others bring in skills from dialectical behaviour therapy for emotional regulation, or trauma-focused and somatic methods to address the effects of past harm. She offers practical steps and small experiments between sessions when that would help. Emma also works with concerns such as ADHD, autism, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to identity and relationships within families.

New clients begin by talking about their goals and how they prefer to work. Emma outlines how sessions will run and agrees a plan together. This keeps the focus on what the person wants to change and on clear, manageable next steps.

How Emma's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for someone to tell their story and then helps shape the work around their goals. This approach is useful when a person wants to feel heard and build self-direction.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Online DBT-style work often includes short skills practice, grounding techniques and discussion of what helped between sessions. It suits people who want clear tools for panic, mood swings or social anxiety.

Emma also uses mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. Mindfulness exercises help with concentration and lowering reactivity, while somatic techniques use gentle movement and body awareness to ease stored tension after trauma.

Choosing an approach is a shared task. Emma will talk through options and try things that fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process aims to find the right balance between skills, body-based work and open conversation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
