About Emma
Emma Harratt offers a warm, person-focused approach to counselling. She uses a client-centred style that puts the person's experience first and shapes conversations around what matters most to them. Emma is named up front so readers know who they will meet at the start of therapy.
With five years of professional experience, Emma supports people working through low self-esteem, worries or anxiety, and major life changes. She also helps individuals coping with grief, trauma, anger, depression, addictions and ADHD-related concerns. Practical issues such as communication problems, commitment worries, codependency and young adult concerns form part of her caseload too.
Her way of working is collaborative. She listens first, then gently guides the conversation to help people find their own solutions. Techniques from mindfulness and motivational interviewing may be used to build coping skills and strengthen motivation for change.
Emma adapts sessions to each person's needs and aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She talks in clear, direct language and focuses on small, achievable steps rather than complicated jargon. This makes it easier to try new ways of coping between sessions.
People who contact Emma typically complete a short matching form and then arrange appointments according to availability. She is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Emma's approach works online and in-person
Emma commonly draws on client-centred therapy, which means she follows the person's lead and shapes sessions around their concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and makes it easier to work on self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and building steady routines between sessions. Motivational interviewing may be used to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can support work on addictions, commitment issues or behaviour change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will discuss options and adapt methods based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and checks in regularly to make sure the chosen way of working still fits.
