About Emma
Emma Harratt is a counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom and a BACP credential. She focuses on practical support for people struggling with low self-esteem, motivation and life changes. Her way of working is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people find steady ground when things feel uncertain.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions are designed to help build confidence, manage stress and address anxiety, depression, anger and grief. Emma also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD and relationship or family difficulties, and she can talk about issues linked to identity and sexuality such as LGBT concerns.
Her approach draws on client-centred and mindfulness ideas to keep the work focused on the person's experience. She uses elements of motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people explore choices and reframe difficult stories about themselves. Psychodynamic thinking may inform discussions about patterns that repeat over time.
Emma aims to be warm and non-judgemental in the room. She helps people set small, manageable goals and checks progress together. The aim is to make daily life easier to manage and to build skills that last beyond sessions.
If you are coping with the fallout of a natural or human-caused disaster, Emma can talk through practical ways to manage stress and changes. To begin, follow the Start Therapy process on the site and match with her using the short questionnaire.
How Emma's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and helps the client set their own goals, which can help with confidence, self-esteem and coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage anxious thoughts, often useful after upsetting events.Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. It uses gentle questions to uncover personal reasons for change and to build motivation, which can help with addictions, lifestyle shifts and commitment issues. Emma combines these approaches to match what each person needs rather than using a single fixed method.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a joint process. Emma will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses. She aims to try things that feel manageable and to review what is helping over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives because it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins and make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques for remote work so that sessions focus on practical coping, planning and emotional support.
