Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Emma integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the person leads the work and the therapist offers understanding and support - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity and addressing relationship concerns. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that examines how thoughts and behaviours affect emotions and helps people develop new coping strategies for anxiety, depression and stress. Psychodynamic work explores patterns from past relationships and early experiences that influence present feelings and behaviours and can be useful for understanding attachment, abandonment and long-standing relational difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Emma treats that as a collaborative process - she works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences and adapts the way she works over time.
Online therapy with Emma can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or while travelling, support continuity of care across locations and allow clients to choose the format that feels most manageable for them.
