About Emily
Emily Foord is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression, stress and related life challenges. She works collaboratively, listening without judgement and supporting clients to make changes that feel right for them. Her approach is practical and person-centred, with an emphasis on building self-compassion and resilience.
Emily holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a diploma in Integrative Counselling. She brings six years of experience working in addiction and mental health settings, including residential treatment and charitable counselling.
Background and approach
That background informs her understanding of addictive behaviours and emotional patterns. In sessions she helps people notice and change unhelpful habits and thoughts. She offers one-to-one work and group-style learning from her earlier roles, and uses motivational methods to encourage movement towards aims.
Conversations are kept straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Emily pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues can shape current relationships and self-view. She also supports people coping with anxiety, obsessive or compulsive patterns, panic, phobias, and difficulties around intimacy and communication.
Practical topics such as parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue are also within her remit. She draws on evidence-based techniques and brief motivational approaches to help clients set goals and practise new ways of coping. Work continues at a pace set by the client, with ongoing reflection and adjustment.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what is helpful and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Clients are invited to set their aims and preferences so sessions can be adapted over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to continue progress from wherever the client is located.
