About Emma
Emma Dalgleish is a UK-based counsellor with 22 years of clinical work across a broad range of issues. She works with people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and other life stresses. She aims to offer respectful, sensitive and compassionate care in every session.
Her style is open and honest. She adapts the way she works to suit each person’s needs and preferences.
Background and approach
Sessions are approached with empathy and without judgement to help people feel heard and understood. Emma uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit the presenting concern. She draws on attachment-focused ideas when relationship history matters.
She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the person’s priorities central, and she may integrate existential themes when people face big life questions. Practical issues such as sleep, eating, addiction and career stress are part of her work alongside deeper concerns like abandonment, attachment difficulties and trauma. She also has experience supporting people with neurodiversity, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Sessions are offered in English and arranged from the United Kingdom. Emma’s practice uses flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session according to availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will discuss different ways of working and help the client choose what feels most useful for their goals and situation. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or a shorter check-in, live chat supports people who prefer typed conversation, and messaging can work for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
