Approaches that guide online work and flexible support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering a respectful, nonjudgemental space where the individual’s experience guides the work; it helps people explore their feelings and build on their own strengths to find direction. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, achievable goals and identifying small, practical steps toward those goals - it can be especially useful for clients who want structured, forward-looking change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and intense mood states.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emma works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as the relationship unfolds so the plan reflects what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy with Emma can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into everyday life. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, juggle work or family commitments, and maintain continuity when schedules change, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic contact with a registered professional.
