About Emma

Emma Manthy works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger and self-esteem. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and client-centred work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has nine years of experience.

Emma practices as a counsellor and health and wellbeing coach. She offers one-to-one sessions and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. In sessions she listens to the specific problem, helps people clarify what matters to them, and looks at practical ways to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping.

Her work often focuses on issues linked to relationships, communication and attachment, including intimacy and commitment concerns. She also supports people with neurodiversity, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and those managing chronic pain, illness or disability alongside mental health challenges.

Emma regularly uses CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and ACT strategies to identify personal values and workable actions. DBT skills are used where emotion regulation and strong reactions are a problem, alongside mindfulness practice to help with grounding and attention.

She has experience addressing complex situations such as domestic violence, dissociation, grief and co-morbidity, and offers coaching-style support for employment and life transitions. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the service button.

How Emma uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and encourages small, practical actions aligned with those values; it is often used for stress, anxiety and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them, useful for anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss different methods with each person and agree together which techniques fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the counsellor and client review what helps and adjust the plan over time.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are available, so check the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some exercises simpler to practise between sessions, such as mindfulness or CBT worksheets, and supports continuing with therapy when attending in person would be difficult.
