About Emily
Emily Foord uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship concerns. She aims to work alongside clients so they can make practical changes and feel more connected to themselves. Emily brings a calm, non-judgemental manner to sessions and focuses on what will help each person in day-to-day life.
She holds a BSc in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
Emily draws on several years of experience working in addiction and mental health settings, including residential programmes and charitable counselling roles. That experience shapes her practical, down-to-earth approach. In sessions she helps people identify and change unhelpful patterns, such as codependency, compulsive behaviours, or avoidance linked to anxiety and shame.
She also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, parenting strain, intimacy-related struggles and compassion fatigue. The work often combines reflection with straightforward strategies to cope between meetings. Emily is used to helping people who are managing life transitions, grief and career stress, as well as more specific difficulties like panic attacks, phobias or obsessive thoughts.
She encourages self-compassion and paced progress rather than quick fixes. If you want a practical, collaborative approach, Emily aims to offer a steady presence while you work through change.
