About Emma

Emma Eakins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings four years of professional experience to her work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Emma aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while helping them face difficult moments.

She focuses on stress and anxiety, LGBT issues, grief and loss, and coping with major life changes. ADHD is also listed among the concerns she supports.

Background and approach

Emma adapts conversations and plans to the needs of each person she meets rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. In sessions she listens carefully and helps people name what is troubling them. She uses clear, practical ways to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours so people can try out different responses between meetings.

The work is collaborative - the client’s goals guide what happens in the room. Emma also addresses issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems. She can help with grief related to cancer and end-of-life concerns as well as separation and family of origin issues.

People can work with her online using video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Emma accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Her style is warm, straightforward and focused on helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions look at how past attachment experiences affect how a person relates, and aim to build more supported ways of connecting and coping with losses or abandonment.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgment, reflects what is shared, and helps the person clarify their own goals and values so they can decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns and try small experiments to change them. It is often useful for stress, anxiety and managing day-to-day difficulties by developing new coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma will work collaboratively to identify which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and can combine methods as appropriate. The plan is adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support through written conversation and can fit around busy schedules. These options help people access therapy from different places and at different times, making it easier to keep continuity between meetings.
