About Emma
Emma Barty is a counsellor with nine years of practical experience. She holds the BACP credential from the United Kingdom and offers talking therapy alongside creative and movement-based options. Emma aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or low mood.
Her approach mixes talking with hands-on activities when helpful. That can include drawing or simple movement work, guided imagery, breath and mindfulness exercises, and practical coping skills from DBT.
Background and approach
She tailors each session to what the person prefers and what helps them feel understood. Emma has worked in a range of settings, including bereavement services and mental health charities. She has experience supporting people facing grief, anxiety, stress, ADHD and depression as well as trauma, relationship losses and long-term health challenges.
This background informs a flexible practice that adapts to different needs. Sessions begin with a conversation about why the person is seeking support and what they hope to achieve. Together they agree how to work, how often to meet and which methods to try.
Emma also discusses safeguarding and the practical details so people know what to expect. She uses regular supervision to reflect on her work and maintain good practice. Emma aims to create calm, practical sessions where the focus is on small steps that build better day-to-day coping and clearer thinking.

Online support
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing unhelpful reactions. Online sessions can introduce short skill practices and agree on homework exercises to try between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attentional and breathing exercises to reduce rumination and improve focus; these can be practised together in a video call or suggested as short audio exercises for between sessions.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different methods, and together they will decide which approaches to try and when to adjust them.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided practices. Phone sessions can be easier when people need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and day-to-day life.
