Approaches and Online Support with Emma Stannard
Emma offers hypnotherapy as a way to help clients access relaxation and to explore thoughts and feelings in a calm state - techniques that many people find useful for anxiety, stress and breaking unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic therapy is used to examine how past experiences and early relationships can influence present thoughts, feelings and behaviours, which can be helpful for deeper relational or attachment concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these approaches by concentrating on practical goals, strengths and small, achievable steps that move someone toward the changes they want to see.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Emma works collaboratively to identify which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She tailors the mix of techniques to each individual rather than applying a single fixed model, inviting clients to reflect on what feels most helpful as work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around work, family or other commitments. For many people, this range of options improves continuity of care and lets registered professionals and therapists adapt the format to suit the pace and style that feels most effective.
