About Emily
Emily Pemberton offers calm, careful support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem or big life changes. She is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience and a straightforward, gentle style. Emily aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and down to earth.
She helps people set the pace and notice small steps forward. Emily works from a person-centred stance, listening closely and reflecting what matters most to each individual.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, teaching practical skills for emotion regulation and coping in the moment. Sessions are a mix of talking, noticing patterns and trying small changes that fit real life. Clients often come for help with relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, trauma and abuse, and the day-to-day weight of depression or isolation.
She also supports people who relate to ADHD, attachment and abandonment worries, body image issues, chronic illness or cancer, and problems with guilt or forgiveness. Emily pays attention to how past experiences affect present choices. Her style is warm and attentive, offering clear reflections rather than quick fixes.
She focuses on building a steady working relationship and practical tools you can use between sessions. Emily encourages honesty about what’s working and what isn’t so therapy stays useful. Sessions can be by video, phone, chat or messaging, and she will help tailor the format to your routine.
Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions at times that suit you.

Approaches Emily lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach simple, practical skills. These skills help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance and handling intense moments. They are well suited to brief coaching between sessions as well as longer conversations.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Emily will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then test what helps most. She adapts the mix of listening and skills training so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging lets people check in between calls or use brief written reflections when that fits their day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside busy lives.
