About Emma
Emma Mccartney is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and anger, and also supports people facing grief, parenting strain and LGBT-related concerns.
Emma uses straightforward, person-focused work. She treats the person rather than a label and starts by listening to the story you bring. Sessions focus on practical steps and building on strengths you already have. She says clients are the experts in their own lives and helps them notice what is getting in the way.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques to clarify patterns of thought and behaviour. She also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect current reactions. Hypnotherapy is another option she offers as a way to access different ways of thinking and responding.
In sessions Emma talks through coping strategies for panic, low mood and anger. She helps people manage workplace stress, relationship tension and feelings of guilt or shame. When your confidence is low she works on motivation and small, achievable changes.
Emma accepts international clients and runs her practice in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. She notes that sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and that costs vary by location.
How Emma uses different approaches online
Emma commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their own experience. It suits someone who wants a therapist to follow their lead and build on personal strengths. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and adds practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic or anger.She also draws on mindfulness to teach simple attention and breathing practices, and uses psychodynamic ideas to notice how earlier relationships affect current reactions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and agree a plan together so sessions feel useful and realistic.

Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier and lets people join from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings that avoid travel, and reduce the need to take long breaks from work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt activities such as thought records, mindfulness exercises and structured behavioural tasks for remote sessions.
