About Emma
Emma Rigg is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or low, and also supports those facing trauma, identity concerns and life changes. Emma believes the person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy.
She offers steady support while someone takes the first steps toward feeling better. Emma uses a client-centred approach that places the person's perspective at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and progresses at a pace that feels manageable. She listens for patterns in relationships and feelings and helps people notice how early attachments can shape present reactions. Her practice often addresses issues such as grief, loneliness, communication problems and caregiver stress.
Emma helps people cope with chronic illness, separation or the aftermath of abuse by breaking problems into small, practical steps. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and trying small changes that build on existing strengths. Emma aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
She uses clear questions and reflective listening to help people find new ways to tackle old problems. The goal is calmer days and clearer choices, arrived at together rather than imposed. People meet Emma by choosing an online subscription plan and booking sessions that suit their routine.
She works in English and does not take international clients. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

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 a client-centred approach that keeps the client’s concerns at the heart of each session. That means sessions follow what the person brings, and the counsellor mirrors and clarifies to help people find their own solutions. These approaches are helpful for depression, anxiety, loneliness and relationship patterns.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Emma discusses goals and preferences together and adapts methods to suit the person’s needs. The process is collaborative, with the client shaping pace and focus as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging helps maintain contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and daily life.
