About Emma

Emma Poxon is a non-binary counsellor who aims to make talking about hard things feel a bit easier. They focus on creating a warm, non-judgemental space so people can say what matters to them. Emma uses a person-centred approach and encourages clients to lead the conversation.

Emma understands stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and addictions as common issues people bring to therapy. They also support people dealing with grief, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Additional areas of focus include body image, chronic illness, dissociation and codependency among others. With four years of experience, Emma combines a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice. The MA describes the practice and theory behind their counselling style and the psychology degree adds a scientific perspective.

Emma holds the NCPS credential. Sessions follow a person-centred model that can be more or less structured depending on what each person prefers. Emma listens, offers empathy and avoids directing the story, so clients keep control of what to explore.

They check in regularly to see if the work feels helpful and adapt the pace or focus when needed. Before booking a live session, clients are asked to send a message first. Emma works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English through online formats.

Ways of working Emma names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy options

Emma uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the work. This means the counsellor listens without judgement, offers empathy and lets the person lead the topics and pace. It is helpful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and life transitions because it focuses on the person's own experience rather than imposing a fixed agenda.

That therapeutic stance can be loosely structured or quite open depending on what each client needs. Emma checks in regularly to see whether the sessions are meeting your goals and will work with you to decide how best to use the time. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process and Emma will help you find the right fit based on your needs, aims and preferences.

Online therapy is offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work or childcare. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to access therapy around everyday life and commitments.
