Emily Bolland is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety and stress.
About Emily
Emily Bolland is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety and stress. She writes simply and directly in sessions, offering steady support and practical ways to manage hard days. People often come to her when they feel low, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
She brings six years of clinical experience working across several mental health settings in the United Kingdom. That background includes time in community mental health teams and in neurodevelopmental assessment services.
Background and approach
This gives her familiarity with issues such as ADHD, attachment concerns and neurodiversity-related challenges. Emily has worked with complex presentations including trauma, abuse, obsessive patterns, mood difficulties and dissociation. She combines approaches from third-wave cognitive behavioural ideas with psychodynamic and humanistic influences.
In everyday terms that means she helps clients notice difficult thoughts, explore early patterns that still affect them, and build kinder ways of living. Her style in the room is warm and collaborative. Sessions aim to be practical while also allowing space to understand where problems began.
People can expect straightforward reflection, practical strategies and gentle exploration of feelings and relationships. Online work is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

Online support
She also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions, which look at how early relationship patterns continue to affect current feelings and behaviour. That work helps when people feel stuck in repeated ways of relating or carry long-standing fears of abandonment or emptiness.
Choosing a method is a shared process. Emily works with each person to test what feels useful and adjusts the balance of practical tools and deeper reflection over time. She sees therapy as collaborative and will discuss goals, preferences and any practical needs before agreeing a way forward.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can help people who prefer writing or need flexible times. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to reach people across the UK and to offer more convenient access to ongoing support.
