Online support
How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emma commonly draws on Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centred Therapy when working online. Existential therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning and responsibility in a straightforward way, which can be useful when someone faces big changes or feels lost. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety, panic and addictive behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy centres on warm, non-judgemental listening and lets the person guide the pace and topics of conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time, so the mix of methods can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer to write, want brief check-ins, or need flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
