About Emily

Emily Pemberton is a counsellor who aims to help people feel steadier when life feels out of balance. She works in a calm, patient way and lets each person set the pace. Emily uses close listening and simple reflections to help clients make sense of what they are going through.

She trained with a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred therapy, which she refers to as Client-Centred Therapy, and has five years of practice experience. She has also studied Ecological Transactional Analysis and completed a brief course in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and draws on these ideas where they fit the client’s needs.

Clients often come for help with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship worries, parenting strain, anger, and life changes. Emily works with neurodiversity-related topics such as autism and ADHD, and with longer-term challenges including chronic illness or body-image concerns.

Her style is attentive and gentle. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her and aim to create space for honest thinking and steady progress. Emily places a strong value on the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for change.

She offers therapy from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability through the Start Therapy process.

How Emily’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It gives people space to talk about what matters and helps them find their own solutions, which can suit issues like low mood, relationship worries and parenting strain.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, brings practical skills for managing strong emotions and handling conflict. When useful, Emily uses DBT ideas for things like anger, anxiety and coping with distress.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, combining person-centred listening with practical DBT-informed skills when appropriate. This is done together, based on goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session types so you can pick what suits your routine best.
