About Emily
Emily Hodson works with people feeling stuck, low, or overwhelmed. She helps clients who are dealing with depression, grief, trauma, or worries around parenting and self-esteem. Emily writes in simple terms and aims to make sessions straightforward and manageable for someone under stress.
Emily trained as a person-centred counsellor and holds BACP accreditation. She uses a gentle, client-led style that gives people space to talk and to make their own sense of difficult events.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and creative activities are part of how she works when these fit a person's needs. In recent years she has worked in creative recovery projects in the community. That work shaped a flexible approach that adapts to what someone needs in the moment.
She also spent nine months as a school counsellor, which added experience of short-term, practical support in busy settings. Emily has three years’ focused counselling experience alongside earlier roles in mental health support. That background informs how she plans sessions and chooses helpful tools.
She often uses simple mindfulness exercises and creative prompts to help people notice small changes. Clients can expect calm, plain-speaking conversations and practical ideas to try between sessions. Emily aims to make therapy feel usable in day-to-day life, whether that means coping with low mood, working through loss, or sorting out relationship patterns.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Emily will ask about your situation, goals and what feels comfortable, then try methods that suit you. She adapts tools over time based on what helps most, so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines while still accessing registered or accredited professionals.
