Emily Pemberton , BACP

Emily Pemberton is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She greets new clients with a calm style and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Her approach is gentle and paced to each person's needs.

She trained with a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred therapy and holds BACP accreditation. Over five years she has guided people through parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions. She also offers support around ADHD, body image, chronic illness and attachment questions.

In sessions she listens closely and reflects back what she notices. That lets people talk through painful memories and everyday worries without pressure. Emily uses simple, steady questions and practical skills when needed to help people cope between sessions.

Her background includes study in Ecological Transactional Analysis and an introductory course in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Those influences inform how she notices patterns in relationships and teaches calming and emotional regulation skills.

Therapy with her typically focuses on building a trusting relationship first, then trying small, realistic changes. Many people come for help with trauma and abuse, coping with illness, feelings of emptiness, or difficulty making and keeping commitments. Emily aims to help people find clearer choices and more manageable ways of living.

Sessions are offered in English and run in formats that fit different lifestyles, including video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. She works with people in the United Kingdom and follows the standards associated with her BACP credential.

Approaches you can use online with your counsellor

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows your lead, reflects what she hears and helps you make sense of your feelings. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring self-esteem issues and making decisions about life changes.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, emphasises practical skills for emotional regulation and coping. It offers clear techniques for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions and improving relationships. People often use DBT skills alongside open, person-centred conversations.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Emily will talk with you about your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel useful from the start and lets the plan change as you learn more about what helps.

Online therapy gives flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls are close to a face-to-face session and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or step-by-step skill practice possible between longer sessions. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these formats so therapy fits around work, family and health demands.
