About Emma

Emma Spick works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and coping with life changes, using a person-centred approach and drawing on other methods when needed. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has four years' experience after completing a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2022.

Emma offers time to talk through what feels difficult and to notice what matters most to the client. In person-centred work she treats the client as the expert on their own experience and helps create the space to consider options. She will introduce other practical techniques if they seem helpful for a specific issue.

Her practice covers a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, mood difficulties, bereavement and issues around guilt and shame. She also supports people facing life transitions and ageing-related worries, and works with women on concerns that matter to them.

Sessions focus on listening, reflection and collaborative planning. Conversations aim to clarify priorities, reduce overwhelming feelings and build simple strategies to manage day-to-day pressures. Emma pays attention to how experiences affect thinking, feelings and behaviour, and helps people try out different ways of coping.

She works in a straightforward, conversational way and keeps sessions focused on the client's goals. Practical matters such as session timing and subscription arrangements are explained up front. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to plan the next steps.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Emma mainly works in a person-centred way, which focuses on careful listening and helping the client find their own solutions by discussing what matters to them. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and life changes because it helps people clarify their values and priorities.

She also brings in other evidence-based techniques when they suit the situation, such as brief practical strategies to manage overwhelming symptoms or grounding methods for managing trauma-related distress. These techniques are used alongside person-centred conversations to give practical tools as well as reflective time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and allows people to meet from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins that suit a work break or sessions without video when lower bandwidth is needed.
