About Emma

Emma Bourquin offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She is approachable and direct, and aims to make sessions easy to follow. Emma uses a compassionate, respectful style and adapts conversations to what each person needs.

Emma has worked in the United Kingdom for 12 years. She holds BACP registration, which means she meets national professional standards for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Background and approach

Her background includes helping people cope with grief and loss, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue. Additional work has involved ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, postpartum depression and pregnancy-related concerns.

Career stress and relationship pressures are other common reasons people come to her. In sessions Emma focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings. Conversations are framed around achievable goals and clearer routines.

She will work with you to find strategies that suit your everyday life and the challenges you are facing. Emma encourages short, honest check-ins and gradual changes rather than quick fixes. If you decide to begin, she will help you shape a plan that fits your needs and pace.

The initial steps are straightforward and meant to feel manageable.

How Emma adapts evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Emma draws on clear, evidence-informed techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach uses structured exercises and practical tasks to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and building routines. Another approach centres on grief and loss work, giving space to process difficult feelings while finding ways to re-engage with day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will talk with you about your goals, preferences and the issues you want to address. She treats the choice of techniques as collaborative, checking in and adjusting methods as you progress.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial cues and mirror an in-person session, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, brief updates or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy schedules, and they give flexibility for different kinds of sessions.
