Emma Harvey is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About Emma

Emma Harvey is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years' experience in mental health work and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem and trauma-related concerns. Emma also helps with relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, grief, eating issues and challenges linked to ADHD and LGBT matters.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions, and on clear goals clients can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Emma draws on client-centred work to make space for each person's priorities and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful patterns. She also brings in elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness to teach coping skills for intense emotions and to build steadier day-to-day routines. Psychodynamic ideas are used where helpful to look at how past experiences shape current reactions.

Emma adapts these methods to suit each person’s situation rather than following a single formula. People who choose Emma can expect straightforward language and a calm, focused style. She works together with clients to set aims and to try practical steps that fit their life.

Sessions are available online using video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy

Emma uses client-centred work to put each person's goals at the centre of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client and shaping sessions around their priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to make decisions or to feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to stress and anxiety. Sessions often include practical exercises and short tasks to try between meetings to build new habits and reduce distress.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) elements teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. These techniques are useful for managing intense feelings and improving communication in difficult moments.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Emma will discuss goals, preferences and what seems to help, and then adapt the approach together with the client. This collaborative process means the plan can change as therapy progresses.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let clients work face to face without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling in writing or when typing feels easier than speaking. Together these options increase flexibility and help therapy fit into busy lives.
