About Emma

Emma Devai brings four years of practice to her counselling work in the United Kingdom. She describes the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and aims to create a warm, honest space where people feel seen and heard. Emma holds BACP registration which she carries into her client work.

Her manner is calm, approachable and down-to-earth. Emma draws on a range of therapeutic ideas rather than a single method. She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tools and motivational interviewing to suit each person’s needs.

Background and approach

When helpful she also uses solution-focused techniques and trauma-informed thinking to help people cope after difficult experiences. She often works relationally and may reflect her own emotional responses at times, using that openness to build trust and a genuine connection. Humour and simple, direct conversation can be part of sessions when it feels appropriate.

Emma aims to help people make sense of patterns, relationships and difficult feelings without judgement. Her Master’s degree in Criminal Justice & Crime Control gives her an informed view of systems that affect people’s lives, such as education, social care and the criminal justice system. That background helps her support people navigating practical and systemic challenges, rebuilding confidence and finding ways forward.

Emma has experience with both adults and young people and has worked in schools and social care settings. She focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD and self-esteem. Sessions aim to reconnect people with their strengths and practical next steps.

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

How Emma uses practical approaches online

Client-centred work places the person and their experience at the heart of every session. It means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps people find their own answers rather than giving instructions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made and as new priorities arise.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school or caring responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical steps and honest conversation with a registered professional.
