About Emma
Emma Dalgleish is a UK-based counsellor with 22 years of professional experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, grief, anxiety and related life stresses. Emma works in English and brings a respectful, compassionate manner to sessions.
Emma adapts her style to each person's needs, aiming to make conversations easy to follow. She uses approaches that focus on attachment and the person in front of her, and she can include practical guidance alongside reflective work.
Background and approach
Sessions are carried out online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules. People come to Emma for many reasons - coping with loss, working through past abuse, managing mood changes, navigating intimacy or addressing addictive behaviours. She also supports issues such as self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems and career stress.
Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and body image worries. Emma describes her practice as empathic, honest and non-judgemental. She aims to listen carefully, reflect what she hears and help clients identify steps they can try between sessions.
The emphasis is on practical, real-world changes as well as understanding feelings. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and are scheduled to suit the client and therapist.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support
Emma uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness or repeating relationship problems are causing distress. Client-Centred Therapy is another strand of her work and focuses on listening deeply and following the client's pace, which suits people who want a non-directive space to make sense of feelings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emma will discuss different options with each person and adapt the plan based on needs, goals and personal preferences rather than prescribing one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets you see facial cues and work more like an in-person session, phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats offer flexibility for appointments and allow steady continuity of care even when travel or schedules are difficult.
