Emma Manthy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and mood conditions such as bipolar. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and LGBT concerns. Emma draws on nearly a decade of practice to help people find steadier footing in difficult times.
She offers sessions shaped around the person in front of her. Emma uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred ways of working to make space for a person to feel heard and understood. Her background includes nine years of therapeutic practice and eight years designing health and wellbeing coaching. She runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public, so she is used to explaining concepts plainly and teaching skills people can use day to day.
In a typical session Emma helps people set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and learn simple techniques for grounding and emotion regulation. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs. She tailors work to address issues such as attachment and abandonment, neurodiversity, chronic illness and eating-related concerns.
Sessions are available in English and are offered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Practical matters like cost are handled via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.
How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting pushed around by them, and to focus on actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and living with long-term health conditions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with depression, anxiety and mood management. Mindfulness Therapy uses short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus, which can ease overwhelm and improve emotion regulation.Choosing the right way of working is part of therapy. Emma will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. They decide together which methods feel helpful and what to practise between sessions, so the plan grows out of what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties and everyday life.
