About Emma

Emma Harratt uses a client-centred approach that aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward. She is known for a calm, respectful style and focuses on boosting motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Emma is based in the United Kingdom and offers help for people facing anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma.

Emma has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential. She works with people dealing with depression, grief, anger and addictions, and also supports those facing relationship strain, family problems and LGBT issues.

Background and approach

She helps clients who are managing life changes, fertility strains, or the distress that can follow disasters. Her practice also addresses attention difficulties such as ADHD and related struggles like codependency, communication problems, jealousy and commitment concerns. Sessions are adapted to each person's situation and priorities.

Emma explains practical options and offers clear steps to try between meetings. Her conversational style uses everyday language and a gentle, non-judgemental tone. She aims to build understanding together so clients feel heard and clearer about what to try next.

Emma encourages small, workable changes rather than sudden overhauls. People can expect a tailored plan that reflects their goals and current challenges. The first steps are simple and she recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting.

Emma offers a steady, patient presence while people get used to working through difficult issues.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist listens actively, reflects what is heard and works with the person to set goals. This approach helps when people feel stuck or unsure where to start.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple exercises to bring attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelming thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and burnout because it teaches short practices people can use between sessions.

Emma will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful in early sessions. Together they will choose which methods to try and adjust steps as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be used for brief check-ins and text messaging allows flexible, short exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on practical, usable steps.
