About Emma
Emma Harratt works in a warm, respectful way to help people build confidence and handle life changes. She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Emma aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.
She focuses on practical, conversational work. Sessions are shaped around what each person says they need, with space to talk about self-esteem, motivation and coping strategies.
Background and approach
Emma also supports people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, alongside difficulties such as addictions and ADHD-related concerns. Emma uses a mix of approaches to suit different situations. That can include talking in a client-centred way, using mindfulness techniques to calm intense feelings, or looking at personal stories to find new meaning.
Motivational interviewing is used where people want to change habits or break cycles that no longer help them. Her style is gentle and direct. Emma listens first, then helps people set small, realistic steps they can try between sessions.
She pays attention to how relationships and communication affect wellbeing, and she can talk through issues like codependency, jealousy and commitment worries. Sessions are adapted to each person’s goals. Emma encourages practical tools alongside reflection, so people leave with ideas they can use straight away.
If you are nervous about starting, she aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

How Emma works online
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try approaches that match the person’s needs. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in, so the work can change over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when needed. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find online work useful for keeping momentum between appointments and for accessing therapy without extra travel, while still focusing on clear, workable steps for everyday life.
