About Emma
Emma Mccartney is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression and supports those dealing with self-esteem and motivation struggles. Her work also includes LGBT-related concerns and a range of relationship and life-change issues.
She begins from a client-centred stance, treating the person as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and drawing on their existing strengths to move forward. Emma uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural work alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when helpful.
Emma also brings hypnotherapy into her practice for clients who find guided imagery and focused relaxation useful. She uses these methods to help with panic, persistent negative self-beliefs, guilt and shame, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Sessions tend to look at what keeps a problem active and what small changes might reduce its hold.
She aims to make the first steps straightforward: a short questionnaire, then scheduling a first appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and all work is carried out in English.
Emma focuses on practical conversation and reflective work. She helps people notice patterns, test new behaviours, and practice different ways of thinking. The intention is to give clear tools and a steady, respectful space to try them out.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Emma works with client-centred therapy that places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. This means conversations begin with listening, identifying what the client wants to change, and building on their own strengths to set practical goals.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviours. CBT offers concrete exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and to reduce anxiety or panic symptoms. Hypnotherapy is used as a supplementary approach for clients who find guided relaxation and imagery helpful for issues like intense self-criticism, guilt and shame, or sleep problems.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Emma will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches suit their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion usually happens in early sessions and can be adjusted over time as priorities shift.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find remote work easier to fit around daily life, for example shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. Online sessions can also allow steady progress through exercises such as thought records, mindfulness practice and guided imagery without needing to change other commitments.
