About Emma
Emma Sleeman is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to place each person at the centre of sessions and supports adults wanting to make practical changes in their life. She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which means she works within recognised professional standards.
Emma draws on person-centred ideas so clients can lead conversations while she listens without judgement.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client. Emma works alongside people to untangle relationship issues, family concerns and life transitions. She also helps with specific struggles such as body image, feelings of isolation, grief around separation, and managing caregiving stress.
Her approach is flexible and collaborative. Emma and the client choose methods together that suit their goals, blending approaches as needed rather than following a single technique. Emma offers daytime and evening appointments to fit different schedules.
She provides online options so people can connect from other locations, including international clients. Her practice aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space for adults to talk through difficult feelings and figure out the next steps.

Online support
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Emma and the client will discuss goals and try methods to see what feels most helpful. She supports people to test things out and adapt the plan as they learn what works for them.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow near face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel, and to keep regular contact while working toward personal goals.
