About Emily
Emily Pemberton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, parenting challenges, self-esteem and depression. She also helps with ADHD and coping with life changes.
Emily trained with a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred therapy, and she has studied aspects of Transactional Analysis and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she uses attentive listening and gentle reflections to help people slow things down and make sense of what is happening for them. Conversations move at a pace set by the client.
Her practical focus is on recognising patterns, building clearer boundaries, and finding manageable ways to respond instead of react. She draws on client-centred work to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s own priorities. She also uses DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance where useful.
Emily pays attention to detail in sessions and aims to help clients notice small changes that reduce pressure day to day. She supports people who feel stuck by helping them spot triggers, practise new responses, and try out different approaches between sessions. The aim is to find ways of handling anger, frustration and worry that fit into everyday life.
For anyone unsure about starting, Emily describes initial sessions as a chance to clarify concerns and set simple goals. She encourages a steady pace and focuses on practical steps that can bring relief and clearer choices in relationships and daily routines.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Emily uses client-centred work to place the client's priorities at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what matters to the client, and helping them set goals they care about. It is useful for sorting through relationship worries, parenting concerns and general stress.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed techniques. These are practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing reactivity, and handling crisis moments more effectively. DBT-informed work can help with anger, anxiety, and coping strategies between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which techniques to use. That collaborative choice helps the sessions feel relevant and usable in daily life.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques for remote work so that practical skills can be practised at home and applied between meetings.
