About Emily
Emily Foord is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and anger, along with relationship and parenting concerns. Emily also supports people dealing with addictions and coping with life changes.
She uses plain, practical conversation to help people notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, identifying unhelpful behaviours and testing small changes that can be repeated in daily life. Emily draws on her background in psychology and integrative counselling to match tools to each person's situation.
Her earlier work included several years in residential addiction and mental health treatment. There she led group and individual work and ran psycho-educational sessions. She later spent time offering counselling in the charity sector, which added one-to-one practice experience.
Emily has a BSc in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and she is a member of the BACP. Her additional training has included courses in radical openness within dialectical behaviour approaches, motivational interviewing and nutrition. These inform how she supports people with behavioural patterns and compulsive behaviours.
Practical help often involves spotting triggers, learning short-term coping steps and planning how to try new responses. Emily encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and works with clients to build skills they can keep using after sessions end.
Approaches and how online sessions are used
Emily draws on integrative counselling and evidence-based techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day coping. Integrative counselling blends useful elements from several methods into straightforward exercises and conversations, which can help with relationship strain, low mood and anger by identifying repeated patterns and testing different responses.She also uses techniques from dialectical behaviour approaches that focus on building skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These methods teach short practical steps for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive responses. Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen motivation for change, particularly helpful for addictive behaviours and maintaining new routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Emily will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which techniques to try. That plan can change as sessions progress, with the client and counsellor reviewing what helps and adjusting accordingly.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel.
