About Emma
Counsellor Emma Constable is a BACP member with 17 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief and self-esteem issues. Emma also focuses on attachment and family of origin problems, commitment and communication difficulties, and challenges such as dissociation and domestic violence.
She offers a straightforward, conversational way of working. Sessions are an opportunity to talk through what is most worrying right now. Emma listens and reflects back what she hears so people can see their situation more clearly. She can help people look at past patterns or concentrate on practical coping strategies today.
Emma draws on client-centred ideas to keep the focus on each person's experience. She also uses psychodynamic perspectives to look at how past relationships can shape present feelings. Internal Family Systems is another approach she uses to help understand conflicting parts of the self.
In sessions she aims to be direct and present. She checks in about what is useful and adapts the conversation as needs change. Practical matters such as communication skills, setting boundaries or managing intrusive thoughts are common topics.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and her work is conducted in English. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a cancellable subscription model. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
How Emma’s approaches are used in online counselling
Emma uses client-centred work to focus on the person in front of her. That means listening carefully to what matters most and following the client's pace. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and everyday stresses by centring the client's experience.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships influence current feelings and patterns. This can be useful for recurring relationship problems, attachment worries and some forms of grief. Internal Family Systems is used to identify different parts of a person that may be in conflict, which can help with issues like dissociation, emptiness or strong inner criticism.
Emma treats choosing an approach as a collaborative task. She will work with the client to decide which methods to try, based on their concerns, goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses and as what helps becomes clearer.
