Emma Spick , BACP

Emma Spick offers a calm, straightforward way to begin when life feels overwhelming. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and the effects of trauma. Emma listens without judgement and encourages people to find their own solutions at a pace that suits them.

Emma holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, gained in 2022, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of practice supporting people through mood difficulties, loss, and the practical strain of big life changes.

Her main working style is person-centred. That means she puts the person’s experience first and creates space for them to talk things through. She also draws on other evidence-based techniques where they add value to the conversation.

Sessions tend to be warm and down-to-earth. Emma aims to help people reconnect with their own voice and build steady coping skills. Practical topics such as low confidence, shame, and navigating transitions are covered in simple, step-by-step ways.

She also has an interest in women’s issues and in supporting people facing ageing or geriatric concerns. Emma offers appointments using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Emma primarily uses a person-centred approach, which means the therapist focuses on listening and helping the person find their own answers. This method suits issues like low confidence, grief and feeling overwhelmed because it gives time to make sense of emotions and choices.

She may also use brief, evidence-based techniques drawn from other therapeutic methods to help with specific symptoms. These targeted techniques can include practical strategies for managing anxiety, grounding after trauma, or building small habits that improve mood and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emma will work with each person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful. Together they set goals, review progress and adapt methods as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want to reflect between messages, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
