About Emma
Emma Martin is a person-centred counsellor who works gently alongside people facing hard moments. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings four years of UK practice to her work. Emma aims to create a calm space where people can be heard and understood without judgement.
She has a background in the mental health sector and has supported adults, young adults and people from many walks of life. Her experience includes helping survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse, and supporting those coping with loss, illness, and major life changes. These roles have shaped her practical approach to complex needs.
In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship first, and then follows the client’s pace. The person-centred way means she listens for what matters most to the individual and reflects that back so people feel clearer about their next steps. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help with change, and solution-focused work to set short-term goals.
Emma supports people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD and body image concerns among others. She also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and gender dysphoria.
She practices in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How Emma’s approaches work for online therapy
Emma uses a person-centred approach that prioritises listening and understanding. This method helps people feel heard and to explore what matters most to them without judgement.She also draws on motivational interviewing, a collaborative way to encourage small changes when someone feels stuck. This approach is useful for issues like addiction, motivation to change, or shifting patterns of behaviour.
Solution-focused work features in her practice too, which concentrates on identifying practical next steps and achievable goals rather than dwelling on the past. It can be helpful for people who want clear, short-term progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. The style and pace are decided jointly so the therapy fits the person rather than the other way round.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Discuss practical arrangements with Emma when you start so sessions fit your routine.
