About Emily

Emily Hodson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people recover from trauma, grief and low self-esteem. She supports parents facing the strain of raising children and people living with depression. Emily works in a calm, accepting way so people can talk at their own pace and start to feel steadier.

She trained as a person-centred counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which means she follows professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

For the last three years she has worked mainly in counselling roles and spent several years in broader mental health support before that. Emily draws on mindfulness and creative methods during sessions. That might mean gentle breathing practices, guided reflection, or arts-based tasks to help someone find new ways to express difficult feelings.

She adapts these tools to suit the person in front of her rather than applying a fixed formula. Recent work in creative recovery projects and a nine-month role as a school counsellor have shaped her flexible style. Those settings taught her to change pace, tone and technique to match each person’s needs in the moment.

She has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, personality and mood difficulties, domestic violence, postpartum depression, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Emily offers sessions to people across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.

How Emily uses evidence-based approaches online

Emily blends person-centred counselling with practical mindfulness and creative techniques to help people process difficult experiences. Person-centred work focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person find their own answers, which is useful for trauma, grief and low self-esteem. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that can reduce overwhelming feelings and improve emotional regulation.

She also uses creative methods such as drawing, writing or guided imagery to help people express things that are hard to say. These activities can be especially helpful when words alone do not capture painful memories or complex emotions. Emily will discuss which techniques might help and agree a plan together so therapy feels collaborative and tailored to the person's goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or other commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
