About Emma
Emma Farrimond is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She is approachable and focuses on practical steps to ease day-to-day pressure. Emma speaks English and draws on a long history of client work to shape each session.
She has 14 years of experience working across independent practice, employee assistance programmes and voluntary sector services. That background includes counselling around bereavement and domestic violence and running a SureStart counselling service for parents and carers of young children.
Background and approach
Emma has run her own independent practice since 2014. Emma uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She applies client-centred listening to help people feel heard.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping skills. Her training includes a BA(Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy with Philosophy and postgraduate diplomas in Professional Counselling and Applied Criminal Justice and Criminology. She is MBACP registered, which reflects her professional affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her, with plans tailored to specific goals like improving sleep, managing anger, coping with life changes or addressing chronic illness. Emma aims to be respectful and compassionate while helping people build confidence and practical strategies.
If you are ready to start, she encourages taking that first step and will work alongside you through the process.
