Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support



Emma Mccartney draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and helping people clarify their own goals while recognising their strengths. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, addressing life transitions, and creating a safe space to explore difficult feelings.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and stress by teaching concrete strategies to cope with challenges.

Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness techniques can support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and improved focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emma works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists will tailor sessions over time so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy with Emma is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These options make it easier to access consistent support without extensive travel and help fit therapy into busy routines.
