About Emma
Emma Barty is a counsellor with nine years' experience who offers gentle, creative support for people facing loss, anxiety and life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Emma aims to make first sessions straightforward and practical so people know what to expect and how to work together.
Her background includes work with bereavement services and mental health charities.
Background and approach
She blends talking therapy with creative and movement-based activities, including visualisation and mindfulness. This means sessions can include art, dance or guided breathing alongside conversation, where helpful. Emma uses approaches that focus on the person and on present-moment skills.
She draws on client-centred methods, elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and somatic and trauma-focused ideas. These approaches are used to help people manage strong emotions, develop coping skills and process difficult experiences. Clients come for many reasons, including stress, grief, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, trauma and relationship issues within families.
Emma also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and difficulties around identity and social anxiety. Her sessions begin by clarifying goals and how to work together. Emma reviews progress regularly and uses supervision as part of her professional practice.
People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative, adaptable approach that mixes talking with hands-on creative tools.

How Emma works online
Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful patterns. It emphasises mindfulness, distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can be practised in conversation and between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Emma will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and practical needs. That might mean blending talking with mindfulness exercises, creative tasks or simple body-based techniques, and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also make short check-ins or skill-focused sessions simpler to arrange when needed. The biography lists online and telephone counselling, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session rhythm and content to match everyday schedules and practical constraints.
