About Emily
Emily Pemberton offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She introduces a straightforward way of working and keeps sessions paced to the client. Emily uses empathetic listening and plain reflections to help people make sense of difficult feelings.
She trained with a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred therapy and holds BACP registration. Emily has practised as a psychotherapeutic counsellor for five years. Her background also includes study in Ecological Transactional Analysis and a short course in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, which she draws on when helpful.
Background and approach
Emily helps with common problems such as parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, abandonment and attachment issues, and practical challenges around chronic illness, cancer or disability. She is experienced in working with ADHD, body image concerns, and the loneliness that can follow life changes.
In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship first. Conversations are guided by what the client needs most in the moment. Practical skills and gentle reflection may be used to manage overwhelming emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
Sessions are presented in an unhurried, person-centred way. Emily aims to help clients find small, steady shifts that add up to clearer thinking and greater control over their lives. She supports people to discover what they want and to take steps towards it.

How Emily works online
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving how people cope in the moment. Short skills practice and simple exercises can help with anxiety, anger and impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and exercises suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as work continues so methods can be adjusted together.
If you are thinking about online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Online work can still use person-centred listening and DBT skills practice to support steady progress without changing the therapeutic focus.
