About Emma
Emma Martin uses a person-centred approach to counselling, focusing on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings four years of experience in mental health settings across the United Kingdom. Emma supports people through difficult life events such as bereavement, illness, relationship breakdown and major life changes.
She offers time to talk and listens with genuine interest, helping clients find their own way forward rather than imposing solutions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in the mental health sector with adults, young adults and families before training as a counsellor. More recently she has worked with survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse, and with people facing addiction, self-harm and dissociation. Emma also works with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, parenting and career questions.
Additional areas she addresses are body image, gender dysphoria, abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing issues and communication problems. She follows the Ethical Framework for the counselling professions and keeps her practice informed by ongoing professional development.
When meeting someone for the first time she aims to create a calm space where they can be heard and begin to explore what matters to them.

How Emma works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then tailor sessions so methods fit your needs. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as priorities change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions to continue when life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult, helping people keep momentum with their wellbeing.
