Emma Fleming , BACP

Emma Fleming is a counsellor who draws on six years of practical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She uses straightforward conversation and steady encouragement to help clients feel heard. Emma works with issues around relationships, family strain, self-esteem and motivation. She also offers support for grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns.

Emma aims to create an open space where people can talk without fear of judgement. She listens first, then helps clients notice what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Practical steps and simple exercises are offered alongside reflection.

Her work covers intimacy-related worries, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. Emma also supports those coping with life changes, career stress and aspects of parenting. She has experience with concerns connected to ADHD, identity and LGBT issues.

Emma integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness into her sessions when these suit a person's goals. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening shape how she responds in conversation. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term, workable goals.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to fit the client's schedule.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy worries and relationship strain.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, and together you will try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Over time the approach can be adapted if something else seems more helpful.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for longer sessions with visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can help people who prefer writing or need more frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and to continue care when travel is difficult.
