About Emily
BACP. Emily Callaghan has six years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Emily aims to make it straightforward to talk about difficult feelings and situations.
In sessions she helps people name and sort their thoughts and feelings. She supports conversations about attachment and abandonment, communication problems, and issues that follow separation or divorce. Practical topics such as managing chronic illness or caregiver stress are also on her list of work.
Emily also addresses body image concerns, guilt and shame, and problems with impulsivity or control. She takes a direct, conversational approach that focuses on what is happening now and what can be changed. That includes talking through everyday coping strategies and clearer ways to communicate with others.
Her experience includes working with mood disorders and midlife questions about life purpose and isolation. Emily recognises that past trauma can affect current relationships and mood, and she helps people look at those links in simple terms.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Emily’s approaches translate to online counselling
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood; this is helpful for stress, anxiety and depression. Another approach looks at how early attachment and abandonment experiences affect current relationships; sessions focus on noticing interaction patterns and practising new ways of communicating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Emily will discuss what feels most useful for a person, and adapt methods based on their goals and preferences. That means planning goals, trying techniques in session, and checking what works after a few meetings in a collaborative way.
Practical benefits of having sessions remotely include fitting counselling into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you need to confirm which session formats are offered, check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, arrange sessions around work breaks, or keep to a regular weekly slot without leaving home.
