About Emma
Emma Martin is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of experience working in the United Kingdom with adults and young adults. Her practice focuses on relationship problems, grief, parenting issues, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, and concerns linked to addiction and trauma.
Emma began her career in the mental health sector before training as a counsellor. She has worked with people from many backgrounds and with complex needs. More recently she has supported male and female survivors of rape, sexual violence and domestic abuse, and she draws on that direct experience when helping others who have been harmed.
Her day-to-day work uses the person-centred approach. That means conversations are led by what the client brings and the therapeutic relationship guides the work. Emma also uses motivational interviewing to support change, and solution-focused techniques to set practical, short-term steps when helpful.
She regularly updates her practice in line with the Ethical Framework for the counselling professions and the standards expected by the BACP. Emma lists additional areas she works with, including intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, career questions, depression and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session through the online booking flow.
How Emma uses person-centred and brief approaches online
Emma works from a person-centred perspective, which places the client's concerns and values at the centre of each conversation. That approach aims to make space for what matters most to the person and to let the relationship guide the pace of the work.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people weigh options and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach is useful for matters such as addictions, motivation around life changes, and decisions about next steps. Solution-focused therapy is used to identify small, practical actions and to build short-term goals that can be reviewed in subsequent sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first meetings. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can shift as work progresses and as priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or between other commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins easier when less time is available, or allow clients to avoid being on camera if they prefer a different way to talk.
