About Emily
Emily Pemberton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and challenges around life changes. Emily also pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and guilt and shame.
Emily uses an approach rooted in Person-Centred practice, drawing on Client-Centred Therapy principles to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. She has studied Ecological Transactional Analysis and has completed a brief course in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and brings those perspectives into conversations when they are helpful.
In sessions she offers steady attention and reflective listening. She aims to follow the pace the client sets and to notice practical patterns that influence feelings and behaviour. That might mean talking through relationship dynamics, looking at how overwhelm shows up day to day, or naming moments where guilt or shame keeps someone stuck.
Emily frames the therapeutic relationship as the main tool for change. She describes her way of working as careful and considered, using reflections and questions to help people clarify what matters to them. People who are unsure about therapy or who find the first steps daunting are invited to take small, manageable steps.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English. Those wanting to begin are asked to use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the online options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can make sense of their feelings and choices. Online sessions can follow the same pattern, with the counsellor offering attentive listening, reflective summaries and questions to help someone look at guilt, shame, relationships and everyday stressors.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotion and reducing unhelpful reactions. Emily uses DBT-informed skills in short, practical ways to support coping, emotion regulation and tolerating distress when those tools fit the person's needs.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Emily will discuss what feels most helpful based on the client's goals, current difficulties and preferences. Together they work out which elements of Client-Centred practice or DBT-informed skills to try and adjust over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work or medical appointments, and can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that practical choice helps someone attend.
