About Emily
Counsellor Emily Hodson is a BACP member with three years focussed counselling experience. She works with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, self esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
Emily describes herself as person-centred and uses mindfulness and creative methods alongside talking. She aims to adapt to what each person needs in the moment and uses gentle practical exercises as well as conversation. That can include drawing, simple grounding practices and guided breathing when useful.
She has recent experience as a school counsellor and in creative recovery work in the community. That background means she often uses activities and short tasks to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Her work with adults and children has informed how she explains things and plans sessions.
Emily often helps people who are dealing with loss, difficult relationships, feelings of abandonment or shame, and parenting stress. She also lists support for autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, mood and personality concerns, and postpartum depression among her focus areas.
Sessions follow a simple structure: an initial matching and booking step, then regular meetings where the pace and methods can change as needed. Cost varies with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment.
Approaches Emily uses and how online counselling works
Emily lists person-centred counselling as her core approach. That means conversations focus on the person rather than the therapist guiding every step. It helps people talk through feelings, build self-awareness and make decisions at their own pace.She also uses mindfulness techniques. These are short practices such as breath work and grounding exercises to reduce immediate stress and help people notice thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness can be useful for low mood, anxiety and managing strong memories after trauma.
Creative methods form a third strand. Simple drawing, movement or writing tasks may be used to help someone express things that are hard to say in words. These activities can make it easier to reflect on relationships, parenting stresses and life changes.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods together with the client. That makes sessions collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
The biography does not list exact session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to work with registered professionals from other locations while keeping the focus on practical support and regular appointments.
