About Emma

Emma Harvey works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, parenting and coping with life changes using a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Emma’s work focuses on helping people notice how their thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive and behavioural methods to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions aim to be direct and practical, with time spent on strategies that can be used between meetings.

She also draws on dialectical behaviour ideas and mindfulness to help regulate strong emotions and manage stress. Psychodynamic ideas are used where looking at patterns from the past helps understand current difficulties. This mix allows Emma to move between short-term problem solving and deeper personal exploration when it is useful.

People come to Emma for a range of concerns, including relationship problems, parenting strain, LGBT and identity questions, chronic health and caregiving stress, and difficulties tied to attachment or abandonment. She works with issues linked to autism spectrum conditions and personality-related difficulties by focusing on ways of coping and communicating more effectively.

Emma works collaboratively, inviting clients to agree on goals and to review progress. Sessions involve talking, practical exercises and building skills such as emotion regulation and problem solving. To begin, clients complete a short online matching form and then schedule a first session.

How Emma uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Emma regularly combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centred Therapy involves a focus on the client's perspective and aims to build understanding through open listening and reflection. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotional regulation and crisis management are needed. DBT teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Emma will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise short-term techniques or deeper exploration.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find online sessions help them keep continuity of care while balancing family, work and other commitments.
