About Emily
Emily Foord offers an integrative, person-centred style of counselling that focuses on practical change and emotional understanding. She aims to work alongside clients without judgment, helping them notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Emily uses her background in psychology and counselling to support people at their own pace.
Emily trained with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. She registers with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Her prior roles include residential addiction and mental health work and time in charity counselling services. Across six years of practice she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also works with addictions and process-related concerns such as gambling or problematic pornography use.
Practical tools and clear conversations are common parts of sessions. Relationship and intimacy issues are another focus, including communication problems, jealousy and attachment-related worries. She helps people address family of origin issues, parenting strain, and the emotional impact of life changes.
Topics such as guilt, shame, isolation and compassion fatigue are also within her remit. Emily has experience with more specific difficulties too, including panic and phobic responses, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and perinatal concerns around pregnancy and childbirth. She can also support people affected by HIV and AIDS.
Sessions are conducted in English and offered to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily works with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods over time. She listens to preferences and life circumstances and tailors the work to fit the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy gives practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited mobility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping therapeutic continuity.
