About Emma
Emma Manthy helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and grief. Emma works with clients who identify as LGBT and people living with bipolar disorder, ADHD or chronic illness.
She offers coaching for wellbeing and can help with compassion fatigue and workplace strains. Emma is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience. She has spent eight years working as a health and wellbeing coach and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and aim to be practical and respectful. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and what can change in small steps.
She uses a mix of proven therapeutic approaches and practical coaching tools to build coping skills and increase day-to-day wellbeing. Emma works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and communication problems. She also supports people navigating autism or Asperger syndrome, eating and body image concerns, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and co-morbidity of conditions.
Chronic pain, long-term illness and disability are included in her experience. In sessions she combines talking therapy with mindfulness and skills-based practice. The aim is to help people notice patterns, learn new responses and make choices that match their values.
Emma encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist offers empathy and non-judgemental listening to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits those who need a steady, supportive space to talk.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Emma will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT, client-centred work and skills-based tools so sessions match what a person needs in the moment.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions and live chat can be shorter or lower-bandwidth options when needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility and help keep therapy practical and accessible.
