About Emma
Emma Poxon is a non-binary counsellor who aims to make it easier to say what feels hard to say. They create a warm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about worries, stressful life events or low mood. Emma focuses on listening and being alongside each person as they find their own way forward.
Emma uses a person-centred approach that puts the client at the centre of therapy. Sessions are guided by whatever matters to the person rather than a fixed agenda.
Background and approach
That can mean open, free-form conversation or a looser structure depending on what helps most at the time. With a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, Emma brings both evidence-informed knowledge and an appreciation for the human side of change. These qualifications are listed as NCPS on their profile.
Emma works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. They also support people dealing with issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, addictions and challenges around self-esteem and identity. The emphasis is on respecting each person's experience and working at their pace.
Sessions include regular check-ins so progress and goals can be reviewed together. Emma encourages people to shape the way sessions run, whether they prefer a structured plan or a more open conversation. Anyone considering therapy is invited to message before booking a live session.

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
Emma's work is rooted in person-centred practice, drawing on psychological knowledge alongside experiential counselling principles. Together the client and therapist check in regularly about what is helpful and adapt how sessions run, whether that means more structure or an open conversation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process and Emma will help you choose what fits your needs and goals.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls work well for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be easier for a quick check-in and messaging allows flexible, ongoing contact between sessions. These options give practical ways to access support from different locations and schedules.
