About Emma

Emma Bourquin helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges through conversational, evidence-based counselling. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, sleep problems, anger and career stress. Emma is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has 12 years of professional experience.

Emma adapts sessions to each person's needs, offering practical ways to cope and think differently about difficult situations. She uses short, clear conversations to identify what is most pressing, then works on skills and strategies that can be practised between sessions. Sessions focus on day-to-day problems as well as deeper emotional themes when needed.

Her work includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and neurodiversity issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also supports those dealing with pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum depression, caregiving stress, intellectual disability related concerns, and young adult issues.

Emma describes her approach as sensitive and respectful, and she shapes the dialogue and plan around each person's situation. She pays attention to practical steps people can try outside sessions, and she will revisit what works and what does not as therapy progresses.

Sessions are conducted in English and operate within the United Kingdom. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Emma works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is problem-solving and skills-based work, which breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches coping methods for stress, sleep issues and anger. Another common strand is supportive, conversational therapy that helps people process grief, relationship strain and changes in life stage by talking through feelings and planning practical next steps.

Finding the right approach is something she treats as collaborative. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and review progress together to choose what helps most. This means approaches can change over time as needs shift.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work and family life and reducing travel time. If you want to check which session formats are available, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to try short check-ins or longer sessions depending on what fits daily routines.
