About Emma
Emma Manthy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing depression alongside stress, anxiety and trauma-related concerns. She brings nine years of experience and works with people dealing with relationship issues, grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood challenges and LGBT‑related matters. Emma also helps with practical difficulties such as anger, intimacy-related problems and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she adapts her approach to each person. She uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client‑Centred techniques, mixing these with mindfulness and some Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills.
Background and approach
Emma aims for clear, down-to-earth conversations rather than jargon. She focuses on what matters to the client and sets achievable steps together. Before therapy Emma trained and now holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her professional credential.
She has also worked as a health and wellbeing coach and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. That background feeds into practical exercises and tools she offers in sessions. People can expect a collaborative style that balances listening with gentle challenge.
Sessions are tailored to individual needs and may include skills practice, values work and behavioural experiments. The overall goal is to reduce distress and help clients build coping strategies that fit their daily life. Emma offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and supports clients in English.
To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma discusses goals and preferences with each person and tailors the mix of ACT, CBT and client‑centred methods accordingly. This collaborative process means the therapy can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check‑ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to book regular sessions around work, family and day‑to‑day life.
