About Emma

Emma Spick is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes, and has an additional focus on ageing, guilt and shame, mood difficulties, post-traumatic stress, self-love and women's issues.

Emma trained to a Diploma level in Therapeutic Counselling in 2022 and uses a person-centred way of working as her main approach. That means she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life and listens for what matters most. She also draws on other therapeutic ideas when they fit the situation.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Emma aims to give people time to talk, notice what they feel, and think through options without judgement. She often helps people who feel overwhelmed by daily life or who have lost touch with their sense of self.

Her work includes supporting people after loss, with trauma responses, and with persistent low mood or anxiety. She also helps those carrying guilt or shame to talk about what they are feeling and to examine how those feelings affect daily choices and relationships.

Emma describes therapy as collaborative. She listens, reflects what she hears, and offers space for people to arrive at their own conclusions. For practical steps to begin, people follow the site's matching process and book a first session via the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emma's core approach is person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can find their own answers. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, low mood, and feelings of guilt or shame by creating space to examine thoughts and emotions. She also draws on complementary therapeutic ideas where helpful, using short practical reflections to support decision-making and coping.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Emma will work with the person to identify which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences, and she adapts the way she works as those needs change over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, making shorter check-ins possible, or allowing people to join from less busy parts of their day. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are harder to arrange, and Emma will discuss practical arrangements with each person to help sessions fit into their routine.
