Emma Manthy, BACP

About Emma

Emma Manthy is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, grief, bipolar and depression, and issues related to ADHD and LGBT matters. She aims to make sessions practical and clear so people can start making small changes straight away. She adapts each session to the person in front of her.

Emma uses a mix of talking, practical exercises and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative - she listens first and then suggests steps you can practise between meetings. Emma has nine years of experience working in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Alongside one-to-one work she has offered health and wellbeing coaching and run psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred listening, with elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness when useful. That mix helps with fast-moving feelings, rumination, trauma responses and problems with communication or self-worth. Emma pays attention to practical outcomes such as clearer boundaries, fewer upset reactions, better sleep and improved day-to-day functioning.

She also supports people working through loss, separation and the emotional impact of long-term health conditions. If you want a straightforward, empathetic counsellor who offers a blend of talking and practical tools, she may be a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action. It is useful for anxiety, stress and when difficult feelings get in the way of daily life.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens non-judgementally and helps people find their own solutions, which can suit those dealing with low self-esteem, grief or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with panic, depression, worry and recurring negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Emma will work together with each person to identify what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adjust the blend of methods as things change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are close to in-person meetings and let people use visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, written reflection and for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
