Emma Dalgleish is a UK-based counsellor with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with relationships, sexual and intimacy concerns, trauma and loss. Emma aims to offer a calm, respectful presence and practical help during difficult times.

Her background includes long-term work supporting people through grief and bereavement and helping those who have experienced abuse. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood difficulties, addictions and stress.

Background and approach

Parents and individuals concerned about sleep, eating, or life transitions can also find focused support. Emma draws on several established approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at patterns in close relationships.

Client-centred ways of working help people feel heard and understood. At times she also brings existential thinking to tackle meaning and major life questions. In practical terms Emma adapts to what you prefer.

Sessions can be conversational, reflective, or more structured depending on the problem. She describes her style as empathic, honest and non-judgemental and aims to help people make changes that fit their everyday life. Emma works in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. If someone is looking for steady support through grief, relationship pain or recovery from trauma, she offers focused, experienced help.

How Emma’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online sessions using this approach can help people notice repeating dynamics and try new ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a space to talk things through and build confidence in their own choices.

Emma will work collaboratively to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then shape the work together so it feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy with Emma is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break at work. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, ongoing support and those who prefer typed communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
