About Emma
Emma Harratt uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Emma focuses on practical work that helps people build confidence and motivation to cope with change.
Emma helps people who are struggling with low self esteem, stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger and addictive behaviours.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, relationship difficulties, codependency and communication problems. In sessions she adapts the conversation to each person's needs. That might mean listening and reflecting, exploring personal stories, or using mindfulness practices to manage difficult feelings.
She aims to keep things straightforward and grounded so conversations stay useful and relevant. Emma works collaboratively to set goals and plan the next steps. She pays attention to motivation and helps people build small, realistic changes into their everyday life.
Her way of working is gentle but goal-oriented, helping people notice progress as it happens. People can expect an approachable style and practical tools to manage the challenges they bring. Emma encourages clients to take the pace that suits them and to shape the work around what they want to achieve.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face sessions and are useful for deeper conversation, while phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or choose shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family routines, while keeping the focus on the therapeutic process.
