Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to trauma and related difficulties. Trauma-focused approaches emphasise gentle processing of distressing experiences and building coping strategies to reduce the ongoing impact of sexual violence, abuse, or other traumatic events, helping clients manage symptoms like intrusive memories, dissociation, and hypervigilance in daily life.Skills-based approaches focus on practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain. These techniques teach emotion regulation, grounding, and communication skills that support improved self-esteem, healthier boundaries, and clearer decision making when facing challenges such as isolation, guilt, or self-harm urges.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Emily works together with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses so it remains responsive to the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, maintain continuity of care, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with registered professionals and therapists who adapt methods for effective remote delivery.
