About Emma

Emma Bourquin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She also supports those facing parenting pressures, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns and trauma and abuse.

She works in a respectful and compassionate way. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Emma aims to make the first steps feel manageable and recognises that reaching out often takes real courage.

Background and approach

In sessions she talks through current problems and practical coping strategies. This can include ways to manage sleep, anxiety, anger and the emotional fallout of big life changes. She also gives space to issues like compassion fatigue, career worries and challenges faced by people with ADHD or autistic traits.

Emma has a particular interest in supporting LGBT clients, people navigating pregnancy and childbirth or postpartum depression, and carers dealing with ongoing stress. She pays attention to everyday pressures and the small changes that can add up over time. Her approach is collaborative and flexible.

Therapy plans are adjusted as progress is made and as personal goals shift. If someone prefers phone, video, live chat or text-based messaging, those formats are offered to suit different needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Emma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety, sleep issues and anger by teaching small, repeatable steps to use between sessions. Another approach concentrates on working through grief and trauma by helping people make sense of difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve and as progress is noticed.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video lets people keep visual contact for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, people who prefer typing, or days when a quick update feels most manageable. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
