About Emma
Emma Farrimond is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She offers straightforward support for depression, grief and relationship worries. Her style is warm and respectful and she works to make the first steps feel manageable for someone under pressure.
Emma has 14 years of experience working in the UK mental health sector. She has provided time-limited counselling within employee assistance programmes and has worked for voluntary organisations supporting bereavement and domestic violence survivors.
Background and approach
She also set up a counselling service for parents and carers of young children and has run a independent practice since 2014. Her practice draws on approaches such as Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential perspectives to help people clarify what matters to them. She uses practical techniques to manage symptoms alongside discussions about meaning, values and choice.
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. Emma supports people dealing with chronic illness, codependency, career changes, parenting strains and problems with sleep and anger. She also helps those struggling with isolation, guilt, shame and life purpose questions.
Her aim is to help people make small, sustainable changes that ease day-to-day life. Emma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy with Philosophy, and has postgraduate diplomas in professional counselling and applied criminal justice and criminology. She works in English and practises from the United Kingdom.

Online support
How Emma blends talking and practical tools online
Emma uses a mix of Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address both feelings and day-to-day problems. Client-Centred work means the conversation centres on your experience and priorities, with the counsellor following your lead to build understanding and support. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviours and offers clear, practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Emma will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaboration means sessions can focus on immediate coping strategies or on deeper questions about meaning and life direction, depending on what you need.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so you can choose what works best. Video fits fuller conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or between-session support. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities and other commitments.
