About Emma
BACP. Five years' experience. Emma Harvey works with adults and young people on common mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger and stress. She also helps with self-esteem, ADHD, grief, eating issues, parenting and relationship or family difficulties. Emma lists trauma and abuse, LGBT and identity concerns, and coping with major life changes among her areas of focus.
Emma practises using several talking approaches. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person's experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness techniques are available for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Emma describes work that concentrates on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long, abstract discussion. She aims to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping in day-to-day life.
Her background includes five years in mental health work in the United Kingdom. She has experience supporting issues such as self-harm, suicidal thoughts, trauma, and complex emotional difficulties alongside more common problems like anxiety and stress.
Emma offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online counselling options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment and aims to make it easier to talk openly about feelings and reactions. It can help with low mood, relationship problems and questions about identity.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be helpful for people who want tools to reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client review goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past, then agree which methods to try. That process is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to attend from wherever they are and to combine counselling with everyday commitments.
