About Emily
Emily Pemberton is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress and life changes. She works in a calm, patient way and lets each person set the pace for sessions. Her approach is conversational and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.
With five years of clinical experience, she brings simple, clear listening to difficult problems. She uses client-centred principles to create space for people to talk without pressure.
Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques to teach coping skills for strong emotions and intense moments. In sessions she offers steady attention and gentle reflections rather than rushed solutions. Conversations often focus on building small, useful skills and on understanding patterns that cause pain.
That practical focus helps with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, parenting strain and relationship worries. Emily has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the challenges of long-term illness or chronic pain. She also offers help around body image, isolation, guilt and forgiveness, and the difficulties that come with neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Sessions are available in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Emily is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled from there.

Approaches Emily lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills to manage strong feelings and reduce harmful reactions. Online DBT-style work often centres on learning breathing, grounding and emotion-regulation techniques and practising them between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will check in about your goals, what feels useful and what does not, and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted as you learn what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, work through an issue between calls, or check in when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
