About Emily

Emily Pemberton is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and the effects of trauma and abuse. She uses a calm, patient style and aims to make early sessions simple and straightforward. Emily draws on five years of practice and a BACP credential to guide her work.

She offers a gentle, person-centred way of working that places the client’s pace at the centre. That means she listens closely, reflects back what she hears and helps people make sense of difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a speed the client can cope with rather than rushing toward fixes. Emily also brings elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy into conversations when skills training or emotion regulation is helpful. That practical input can include tools for coping with intense emotions, managing anger and building tolerance for stress.

Her experience covers a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. She supports people who are coping with parenting strain, body image worries, chronic illness, attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, ADHD and loneliness among other difficulties. Clients can expect clear attention to how problems show up in daily life and straightforward steps to try between sessions.

Emily values the relationship she builds with each person as the core condition for change. She aims to help people find relief, regain confidence and make choices that suit the life they want to lead.

How Emily blends person-centred care with practical skills online

Emily uses person-centred therapy to anchor online sessions. That means main attention goes to the person in front of her, with listening, reflection and empathy shaping each conversation. This approach helps people feel heard and to explore what matters at a manageable pace.

She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, offering straightforward skills for managing strong emotions and reducing reactivity. DBT techniques can be helpful for coping with anger, distress, intense anxiety and patterns that feel overwhelming. In practice she mixes gentle, client-led conversation with simple, real-world tools to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Emily will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that suit them. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging suit quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
