Emma Donnelly , BACP

Emma Donnelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people tackle relationship strain, parenting challenges and grief. She is a BACP member and brings three years of practical experience to her work. Emma writes simply and directly in sessions and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

Emma listens for each person's strengths and builds on them. She helps people talk through family conflict, manage concentration and memory concerns often linked to ADHD, and process loss after bereavement. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on small, useful steps that can fit into everyday life.

She has worked in roles supporting adults over the past three years while studying psychology at master's level. That background means she is used to helping people who feel stuck by a life transition, midlife questions, or the stress of caregiving. Emma also supports people facing prejudice and multicultural concerns and those recovering from traumatic or abusive experiences.

In sessions she focuses on practical strategies alongside emotional reflection. That might include talking through patterns in relationships, planning parenting steps, or trying techniques to reduce panic symptoms and low mood. Emma encourages clients to set clear, achievable goals and review progress as therapy continues.

Emma offers sessions in English for people based in the United Kingdom, using a range of online formats to suit different needs. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into school, work or family routines.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Emma works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical change. One common approach aims to identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and replace them with better routines and communication; this helps with relationship strain, blended family issues and parenting conflicts. Another approach concentrates on coping skills for anxiety and panic - teaching short exercises to reduce symptoms and regain a sense of control. Both approaches use simple, repeatable strategies you can try between sessions.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Emma will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and practical constraints before suggesting an approach. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan when needed so therapy stays relevant to real life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for check-ins, and messaging allows brief updates or emotional support between sessions. These options make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family and other commitments.
