About Emma
Counsellor Emma Martin is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people affected by relationship issues, grief, parenting pressures, stress and anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, eating problems and low self esteem.
Emma uses a person-centred approach. She focuses on building a straightforward working relationship where the client leads the pace. Her background includes work in the mental health sector with adults and young adults, and experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse.
In sessions Emma listens for what matters most to each person. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and practical problems. That can include coping with bereavement, major life changes, anger, or symptoms linked to depression and anxiety.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. These methods are used to help people consider options, make decisions and try small steps that can change day-to-day life.
Emma follows the BACP Ethical Framework and keeps up to date with developments in counselling practice. People who choose to work with her are asked to use the service subscription model and to complete the initial matching steps before booking a first session.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Emma uses a person-centred style which focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. This approach supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, anxiety and other emotional difficulties by keeping the conversation client-led.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and to build motivation. Solution-focused work is used to set small, practical goals and to identify steps that can make daily life feel different. These approaches are straightforward and aim to be useful for practical problems as well as emotional distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. That conversation is collaborative and can change as your work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when full sessions are harder to manage. Registered or accredited professionals often offer ways to match counselling to daily routines, and this should be discussed when you book your first appointment.
