About Emma

Emma Rigg is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and supports those facing LGBT-related concerns. Emma believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work of change.

Emma offers a calm, respectful space to talk through painful or confusing experiences. She listens first and follows the client's pace. Her style aims to help people feel understood and clearer about next steps.

Background and approach

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. That approach can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and relationship struggles. Emma also uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's needs and priorities at the heart of sessions.

Across her work she has supported people with chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, communication problems, grief, and separation. She also helps those coping with guilt, shame, isolation and identity questions such as gender dysphoria. Sessions can include practical talking strategies, exploring unhelpful patterns and building clearer emotional understanding.

Emma encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is most helpful for each person.

How Emma's approaches work online

Emma uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This can be useful for worries about abandonment, trust, or repeating difficult patterns in relationships. Client-centred therapy means the work follows the person's priorities and pace, with the counsellor reflecting back what is important and helping the client make sense of their experience.

Finding the right approach is something to do together. Emma will discuss what feels most helpful, adapt methods to individual goals, and check in regularly so the work stays relevant. The choice of approach can change as new issues or priorities emerge during therapy.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer different practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health needs and help maintain continuity of support.
