About Emma

Emma Manthy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what comes next after changes in work, relationships or health. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, grief, bipolar and depression, and life-purpose questions.

Emma also supports people with neurodiversity and ADHD, and she addresses attachment and abandonment concerns. She helps with relationship and communication problems, codependency and commitment issues. Chronic illness, pain, body-image matters and eating-related difficulties are within her stated focus.

Her approach draws on a few structured therapies alongside person-centred work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at unhelpful patterns and practical steps. Mindfulness techniques and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are used to develop emotion regulation skills.

Sessions are described as collaborative and practical. Emma has experience as a health and wellbeing coach and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. That background informs sessions that include skills practice and short educational pieces as needed.

Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people are invited to use the online booking pathway, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and then choosing small values-driven actions. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and the sense of being stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Emma treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss what fits best with a person's goals and preferences and introduce methods at a pace that feels manageable. The focus is on testing simple techniques and adapting them as needed rather than rigidly following a single method.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some approaches lend themselves to short skill-practice between meetings, which can be shared and discussed in subsequent sessions. If you want to know the exact session formats offered, confirm the current options before booking so you can choose what fits your schedule and needs.
