Emma Conlon , BACP

Emma Conlon is a relational psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She describes herself as warm and open and listens with a sensitive, intuitive ear. Emma welcomes people who want to talk about what is worrying them and tries to make the first steps straightforward and calm.

Her approach can be flexible depending on what someone needs. Sessions can focus on past experiences, concentrate on the here and now, or use creative ways to look at how a person sees themselves. Emma sometimes introduces gentle meditation or mindful practices when a client expresses interest, drawing on her background in bodywork.

Many people come for help with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes, or ADHD-related concerns. Emma also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, codependency, chronic illness and disability, and the emotional impact of cancer and caregiving.

In the counselling room she pays attention to how people relate to others and to the therapist-client relationship. That can include inviting reflection on recurring behaviour patterns and gently challenging unhelpful ways of relating when it seems useful. Emma aims to move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful for each person.

She offers sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and supports people in English. Practical matters such as scheduling are agreed together after a short matching questionnaire is completed.

How Emma adapts therapeutic approaches online

Emma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to an online setting. Relational work focuses on how people connect with others and with the therapist; in practice this means talking through recurring patterns, noticing feelings as they arise in session, and reflecting on how relationships shape current difficulties. Mindfulness and gentle body-informed practices may be offered to help people manage stress and anxiety, for example through short breathing exercises or simple grounding methods that can be practised between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Emma will collaborate with each person to decide whether to spend more time on past experience, focus on present-day coping, or bring in mindful exercises. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods to fit a person's goals and preferences so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is needed or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring commitments and daily life.
