About Emma

Emma Harratt is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Emma aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people feel heard and understood.

She uses a range of approaches that are shaped by the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Sessions are adapted to each person's goals, whether that means building confidence, coping with life changes, addressing addiction-related worries, or managing depression and anger. She also works with concerns linked to relationships, family difficulties, fertility stress and identity issues including LGBT topics. Emma draws on client-centred ways of working to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the individual.

Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and moment-to-moment stress management. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding motivation for change. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.

She pays attention to the stories people bring and helps them notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Sessions are shaped collaboratively so each plan fits the person’s life and priorities. Emma invites people to try therapy at a pace that suits them.

She encourages small steps and practical coping tools alongside deeper reflection. Taking that first step is acknowledged as an important part of the process.

How Emma blends approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a collaborative space where the client leads the conversation. It helps people who need someone to reflect their experience and support them in finding their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce moment-to-moment stress and ground strong emotions, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and trauma-related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way of talking that helps people clarify values and find the drive to make changes, often used around addictions or when someone feels stuck.

Working out which approach suits you is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will choose and adjust methods so sessions feel useful and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging offer flexibility. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting and are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between calls, fit brief sessions into a lunch break, or use written reflection when that feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments.
