About Emma

Emma Marsh is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people who want help with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those managing stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions.

Emma uses straightforward, person-focused sessions. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems repeating and to try practical steps that reduce strain day to day.

Her way of working draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to practise alternative responses. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and motivational interviewing techniques are added when people need help with emotion regulation or making changes.

Emma has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, parenting stress, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. She also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency and communication difficulties.

People can expect practical conversation and tangible steps between sessions. Emma encourages small, manageable changes and checks progress as work continues. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Emma combines Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a way that aims to make practical sense of strong feelings. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns in closeness and conflict. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying different behaviours to reduce anger and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree together which tools to use. That joint decision means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Emma aims to structure sessions so they work with everyday life and support steady, practical progress.
