Emily Pemberton offers calm, attentive support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She introduces herself plainly and helps clients move at a pace that feels manageable. Emily works with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, relationship concerns, parenting strains and symptoms of trauma.

She also supports people facing ADHD, chronic illness, body image struggles and feelings of isolation. Emily trained in Person-Centred therapy and holds a certificate with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She has five years of professional practice. Her style is conversational and reflective rather than directive. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not on fitting someone into a treatment box.

In sessions Emily listens for patterns in how people relate to themselves and others. She uses gentle, considered reflections to help people notice choices and options they may have missed. When needed she draws on skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach practical tools for managing strong feelings and distress.

People can expect a steady therapeutic relationship that values safety and honesty. Emily aims to help clients find relief, build confidence and make changes that suit their lives. She believes small shifts over time lead to lasting change.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online across the United Kingdom. Emily uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and rhythms.

How Emily’s approaches work online

Emily uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience first. This means sessions focus on listening, understanding and reflecting back what the person is feeling so they can make sense of their situation. It works well for people who need space to talk through emotions and life choices.

She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, to teach practical skills. DBT offers concrete techniques for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions and improving distress tolerance. These skills can help with anxiety, anger and mood swings when people want tools as well as conversation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as therapy progresses. She aims to blend listening with skills practice so therapy suits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
