About Emma Mwanza
Emma Mwanza is a BACP-registered psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - commonly referred to as BACP - she brings four years of clinical experience to work with individuals, couples, children, and families. Emma focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, and self-esteem while also offering specialised support for adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and other family-related challenges.
Her approach is multicultural and holistic, informed by personal experience of living across different cultures and a commitment to recognising each person’s unique background and strengths. Emma uses an integrated set of therapeutic methods so that care is tailored to the client rather than applying a single model to every situation. She encourages clients to explore patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and strengthen interpersonal skills to improve everyday wellbeing.
Emma has supported people experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief and loss, self-harm, sexual abuse, relationship conflict, parenting struggles, anger, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. She also works with first responders, those facing prejudice or discrimination, and clients dealing with issues around infidelity or family of origin difficulties.
Clients can expect a compassionate, strengths-based environment where Emma recognises them as the experts in their own lives and collaborates to set realistic therapy goals and build resilience over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Emma draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply, respecting each person’s perspective, and building on existing strengths to address emotional challenges and improve self-esteem and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change behaviours that get in the way of daily life.When couples or relationship issues arise, Emma may integrate elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and resolve recurring conflicts. This approach emphasises concrete interactional skills and problem-solving strategies that support relationship repair and greater mutual understanding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emma works with clients to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time as therapy progresses. She aims to create a flexible plan that feels workable and relevant to each person.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for scheduling and access. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging clients can attend from different locations and choose formats that suit their comfort and lifestyle. Working with registered professionals in these formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care while accommodating busy lives and varying accessibility needs.
