About Emily
Counsellor Emily Pemberton is a BACP member with five years' experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and ADHD.
Emily uses a person-centred approach. That means she listens without judgement and follows the pace set by the person she is working with. She also draws on skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, using practical strategies where they suit the conversation.
Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now and how past patterns show up in daily life. Emily pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and to how dissociation, emptiness or isolation can affect feeling and behaviour. She also addresses concerns such as body image, chronic illness, cancer, and problems linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.
Her way of working is reflective and detail-oriented. People can expect careful reflections and straightforward feedback aimed at helping them notice patterns and make changes. Therapy sessions move at a pace the person chooses and cover both short-term coping and longer-term themes.
Emily practises in the United Kingdom and offers her work in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the website.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Emily uses person-centred counselling and DBT skills in her work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and following the pace set by the person. It can help with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns by making it easier to name what matters right now.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical strategies for managing strong emotions and reducing conflict. These skills are useful for anger, anxiety and for learning steadier ways of coping when life becomes overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about different ways of working and help decide what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques and worksheets during a session and return to them afterwards to practise in daily life.
