Emily Chalder is a counsellor who draws on six years of UK practice to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She is a BACP professional and aims to create a respectful and compassionate space. Emily works from a person-centred approach and adapts support to each individual.

She focuses on everyday struggles that can feel overwhelming. That includes coping with life changes, parenting strain, sleep difficulties and work-related pressure.

Background and approach

Emily also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, relationship difficulties and depression. Emily uses a client-centred way of working. That means conversations are guided by the person in the room, not by a fixed agenda.

The goal is to listen carefully, reflect what’s happening and help people find their own solutions. Sessions are practical and straightforward. People can expect honest conversations, gentle challenge and encouragement to try small changes between meetings.

Emily also works with issues such as ADHD, body image, social anxiety, self-harm and feelings of isolation. Her style suits people who want calm, respectful support and clear next steps. Emily helps parents manage parenting pressures, people navigating separation or divorce and those coping with compassion fatigue.

She explains options clearly and tailors the pace to each person’s needs.

How Emily’s approach fits online therapy

Emily works from a client-centred framework which focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s lead to set goals and next steps. This way of working helps with anxiety, grief, self-esteem and adjusting to life changes.

Client-centred work is flexible and adapts well to different formats. Emily will collaborate with each person to find the most useful way to use online sessions and adjust the pace and focus as needs evolve. Deciding which approach to use is part of the process and will be agreed together based on goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Emily is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and fit into busy lives.
