About Emma
Emma Pereira is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience across Canada and the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Emma aims to make the first steps feel less daunting by offering straightforward support and practical ways to move forward.
Her approach is collaborative. Emma treats people with respect and sensitivity and sees the relationship as a partnership.
Background and approach
She believes clients know their lives best, so sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve and on small, realistic changes that fit daily life. Emma draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She commonly uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people calm busy minds and notice the present moment without judgement. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take actions that matter to them. Motivational Interviewing can support those struggling with change or addictive behaviours by building motivation in a non-judgemental way.
These tools are adapted to each person’s situation and goals. Sessions are offered in English and Emma works with people dealing with a range of concerns including mood disorders, panic, seasonal changes in mood, relationship difficulties, workplace stress and life transitions. She aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day challenges.

Online support
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. ACT is useful for mood disorders, feeling stuck, and for building a life guided by chosen priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Emma treats this as a collaboration. She will discuss options, try techniques together and adapt the way she works to match the client’s goals, preferences and everyday routine.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit short reflections, ongoing check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.
