About Emily

Emily Hodson offers calm, practical support for people facing loss, low mood and relationship stress. She aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow, so parents and individuals can focus on small steps that help day to day. Emily presents herself in a warm, down-to-earth way and keeps explanations plain and simple.

She trained as a person-centred counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to structure sessions around the client's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions often include mindfulness and creative activities when these feel useful. This flexible mix is chosen to fit what the person in front of her needs in the moment. Emily has worked in mental health for many years and has spent the last three years dedicated to counselling practice.

More recently she ran creative recovery work in the community and spent nine months as a school counsellor. Those roles shape how she tailors sessions and the practical tools she brings. Her main areas of focus include trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and depression.

She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, postpartum depression, domestic violence impacts, and problems linked to learning differences. In sessions she listens first and then offers simple, practical ways to try things differently. People can expect a mixture of talking, gentle exercises and creative activities when appropriate.

Emily encourages gradual progress and works at a pace each person is comfortable with.

How Emily works online

Emily uses person-centred counselling as the core of her work, which means the focus is on the person's experience and what they want from therapy. This approach emphasises being heard and respected, and it helps people who want a supportive space to talk through grief, low mood or parenting pressures.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress and everyday anxious thoughts. Mindfulness involves simple attention exercises and breathing practices that aim to calm the nervous system and improve focus. When helpful, Emily adds creative methods such as drawing or storytelling to open different ways of expressing feelings and to work through trauma or attachment issues.

Choosing which approach to use is a shared process. Emily will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try things out and adjust methods as needed. This collaborative method means the therapeutic plan can change as progress is seen.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check which options are available before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks or other daily demands, and it often reduces travel time. Some approaches, like brief mindfulness exercises, work well for shorter check-ins while creative activities can be adapted for video or written form, depending on what the client prefers.
