About Emma

Emma Farrimond is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and trauma. She speaks plainly and offers a calm listening style so clients can name what feels hard. Emma aims to make starting therapy less daunting and meet each person where they are.

She has 14 years of clinical experience working across independent practice, employee assistance programmes and voluntary sector services.

Background and approach

That background includes supporting people affected by bereavement and domestic violence, and leading a counselling service for parents and carers of young children. Emma has run a independent practice since 2014 and continues to work with a broad range of concerns. Emma uses a blend of counselling approaches to match the needs of each person.

She draws on client-centred listening to build trust and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused techniques help set small, practical steps when clients want quicker change. Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Counselling and Psychotherapy with Philosophy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Counselling.

She is MBACP registered which denotes BACP membership. Recent study also covers applied criminal justice and criminology. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful.

Emma will work with clients to set clear goals and review progress. She encourages honest conversation about what helps and what does not, and adapts plans as needed. People often seek her support for grief, relationship strain, coping with life changes, sleep problems, chronic pain and work-related stress.

Emma can help people explore values, rebuild confidence and find ways to manage daily pressures.

How Emma's approaches work online

Emma uses client-centred counselling to prioritise what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach focuses on attentive listening, reflecting emotions and helping clients find their own answers, which can be especially useful for people feeling overwhelmed by grief, loss or life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT techniques help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss options with clients and agree a plan based on their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may mix listening-focused work with short-term practical tools as needed.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video sessions allow face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in and messaging suits short reflections between meetings. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, parenting or health commitments and to try different styles until the right fit is found.
