About Emma
Emma Farrimond is a BACP-registered counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience. She works directly with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Her style is practical and respectful, with straightforward conversations that focus on what you want to change.
She has a background that combines workplace employee assistance provision, voluntary sector bereavement and domestic violence services, and running a SureStart counselling service for parents and carers of under-fives.
Background and approach
Emma set up a independent practice in 2014 and has continued to work with people across a wide range of life challenges. Emma uses approaches that help clients make sense of feelings and try new responses. She draws on client-centred ways of listening closely, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused steps to build small practical change.
She also brings existential ideas about meaning when people want to think about purpose and life direction. Typical issues she supports include grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include chronic pain and illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, and loneliness.
People who meet Emma can expect a tailored plan that suits their situation. Sessions are aimed at helping someone gain clarity, develop new coping strategies, and make decisions that feel right for them. She works in English and practises across the United Kingdom.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods together, mixing listening, problem-solving and practical exercises as needed. That collaborative way means the plan can change as you make progress or as new issues arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let you check in between sessions or keep a written record of thoughts and actions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to continue work even when routines change.
