Therapeutic approaches and online support
Emma blends client-centered, existential and Jungian perspectives to support people in online therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel understood and able to explore feelings like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Existential therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and identity, which can be especially helpful for those questioning sexual identity or facing life transitions. Jungian therapy uses symbolism, dreams and imagery to deepen self-understanding and address patterns that may arise from family of origin or repeated relationship dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emma works collaboratively to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they consider which methods feel most helpful and adjust the work over time to support growth and clarity.
Online therapy with Emma can take place by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into varied routines and locations.
