About Emily
Emily Chalder is a counsellor registered with the BACP in the United Kingdom. She has worked in professional roles for 6 years and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and low self-esteem. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion and to support them toward clearer direction and improved wellbeing.
Her main style is Client-Centred Therapy, which means she pays attention to each person’s own experience and tailors sessions to their needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced around what the person brings to the room. Emily encourages people to talk through what matters and to discover practical ways to manage everyday pressures. She has particular experience supporting people with coping through life changes, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger and career worries.
Additional areas she can focus on include autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, sexuality, seasonal affective disorder and self-harm. Emily also works with issues such as relationship strain, family problems, trauma and ADHD. People can expect a straightforward approach that centres their priorities.
Emily aims to help people build coping tools, find more helpful ways of thinking about problems and make steady steps towards the goals they set. She matches the pace to what feels manageable for each person.
If someone wants to start, they are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Emily works online
The right therapeutic approach is often discovered together. Emily will work collaboratively to understand goals, try ways of working and check in about what feels helpful. That means adapting the pace, questions and focus until the sessions suit the person’s needs and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also allow options like shorter sessions or not using video when that better fits someone's day. Many registered or accredited professionals use remote work to support people more flexibly, and Emily will discuss what format makes sense during the initial arrangements.
