About Emma
Emma Bourquin works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or parenting strain. She meets clients in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make the first steps less daunting. Emma uses plain language and practical suggestions so conversations feel useful from the start.
With 12 years of professional experience, Emma offers support for grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem, and issues linked to sleeping, anger and career change.
Background and approach
She also focuses on neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and on postpartum and caregiver stress. LGBT concerns, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and ADHD are part of her practice too. Emma works by tailoring conversations and plans to each person.
She listens for what matters most, then suggests small, doable steps. Sessions aim to help people notice what is keeping them stuck and try new ways of coping between meetings. People often come for short-term practical help or for longer support through big life changes.
Emma values respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session. She encourages clients to set the pace and shape the goals they want to reach. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That process can begin in the first few sessions and be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from seeing facial expressions. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or where video is not possible. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief updates, written reflection and easier scheduling. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
