About Emma

NCPS. 4 years' experience. Emma Mansfield works with stress, anxiety, relationships and grief using approaches she practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She sees people for depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar and coping with life changes. Emma also focuses on issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment, abandonment, blended families and caregiver stress.

Emma writes in straightforward terms and keeps sessions direct. She helps people talk through upsetting events and split big problems into smaller steps. Sessions draw on mindfulness and solution-focused work to build practical ways of coping. She also uses CBT techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

Her experience includes work in the health, social care and education sectors. That background informs how she approaches practical problems like communication, caregiving strain and navigating a new diagnosis. She names compassion fatigue and burnout as particular concerns she supports people with.

Emma prefers a realistic tone in sessions and uses humour where it fits. She aims to help people set clear goals and work steadily towards them. Progress is described in terms of manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

If you want to start, follow the site process to complete the short questionnaire and arrange a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are not accepted.

How Emma uses ACT, CBT and client-centred work online

Emma commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. ACT is often used when someone wants to reduce avoidance and get clearer about what matters to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT gives concrete exercises to try between sessions and is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Client-Centred Therapy is part of her approach too, which means the counsellor gives space for the person's perspective and follows their pace in sessions. This can be useful when people need a place to talk through confusing or painful experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor will check goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest which methods to try first. The choice can be revised if something is not helpful.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Discussing how sessions will fit into everyday life is part of the first appointment.
