About Emma
Emma Rigg works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. She offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to help clients make sense of what they are facing. Emma frames the person in the room as the expert on their own life and looks to build on each person’s strengths.
She uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the individual. That means sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the person’s needs rather than following a fixed agenda. Emma also draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how relationships shape current worries and patterns.
Over six years she has supported people with concerns linked to trauma and abuse, LGBT matters, and coping with major life transitions. She also works with issues such as chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, and problems with communication and trust.
Emma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about painful or difficult topics and to find realistic steps forward.
To begin, Emma asks people to reflect on their goals and what they hope to change. She helps set a simple path for the next steps and adjusts support as those goals evolve.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Emma uses client-centred therapy to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the client, offering attentive listening and a non-judgemental stance that lets people set the pace. This approach suits issues like anxiety, depression and life transitions where understanding personal goals is the first step.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships influence current feelings and patterns. That can help people understand repeated difficulties in trust, intimacy or communication and find different ways of relating to others and themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which ideas and techniques to try. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
