About Emily
Counsellor and member of the BACP with six years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Emily Chalder helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also supports people concerned about parenting, sleep, anger, career issues and complex topics such as trauma, abuse and ADHD.
Emily uses a client-centred approach. That means she focuses on the person in front of her and aims to listen carefully. Sessions are driven by what the client brings and what they want to work on.
In practice Emily offers a straightforward, conversational style. She helps people talk through current problems and clarifies what matters most to them. Practical coping strategies and plain discussion of feelings are used when useful.
Emily has spent six years in practice in the UK and has worked with a wide range of concerns. This includes family problems, relationship issues, body image, separation and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also names seasonal affective disorder, self-harm and sexuality among the issues she addresses.
People often come with a mixture of symptoms and life events. Emily aims to help people identify manageable steps and think about what they want to change. Sessions are collaborative, with emphasis on listening and responding to the person's priorities.
Client-centred approach and remote counselling
Emily works from a client-centred framework which puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. This approach relies on careful listening and responding to what the client brings. It is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with loss.Client-Centred Therapy helps people to reflect on their feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. It aims to give the person space to set the agenda and to explore what they want to change. This can suit someone who prefers a conversational, non-directive way of working.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try first. That shared planning helps shape the focus of future sessions and can be reviewed as things change.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is useful. They also let people keep sessions where they already spend time, which can help with consistency and follow-up between meetings.
