Emily Chalder, BACP

Emily Chalder is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

About Emily

Emily Chalder is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works from a person-centred approach and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk about what matters to them.

Emily adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than following a fixed formula. She helps people manage major life changes, cope with anger, and deal with relationship and family difficulties.

Background and approach

She also offers support for sleep problems, career worries and parenting strain. Trauma and abuse are listed among her focus areas, and she can help people begin to make sense of painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Emily also supports people with ADHD, autism and Asperger Syndrome concerns, and with issues such as body image, sexuality and social anxiety.

Her style is steady and empathic. Sessions tend to centre on listening, reflecting and helping clients notice what they already do that works. Practical next steps are explored together, and the pace is set by the client.

Emily works with depression, seasonal affective disorder, guilt and shame, and struggles with isolation or emptiness. She encourages people to notice small shifts and to build on them, one step at a time.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Emily’s person-centred approach works online

Emily uses a client-centred approach that centres on hearing the person and following their lead. This method focuses on understanding a person’s experience, reflecting what is said and helping them identify their own solutions; it can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes.

Working online, she keeps the process collaborative. The therapist and client decide together which ways of working feel best, and adapt pace and goals as therapy progresses. Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be reviewed as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits more in-depth conversations and seeing non-verbal cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, person-led progress.
