About Emma
Emma Martin is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years' experience working in the UK. Emma listens without judgement and focuses on building a trusting relationship with each client.
Before training as a counsellor she worked in the mental health sector supporting adults, young adults, and families.
Background and approach
That background means she knows how complex life events can affect day-to-day wellbeing. She has supported people coping with bereavement, relationship breakdown, and serious illness. Emma has recent experience working with survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse.
She has also helped people facing addiction, self-harm, dissociation, bipolar difficulties, and suicidal thoughts. Her work spans a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and identity issues such as gender dysphoria. In sessions Emma draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to match what a person needs.
She works at the client’s pace and uses simple, practical conversations to find small changes that make daily life easier. The emphasis is on listening, understanding, and helping people find their own solutions. Emma offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches Emma 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
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. This method focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation in small, manageable steps. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify practical next steps and realistic goals, often directing attention to what is already working and how to build on it.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, and together they will choose techniques that fit. That means the plan can change as progress is made or as priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual contact, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or times when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
