About Emma
Emma Mccartney offers a gentle, person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of each session. She uses clear, everyday language and focuses on what feels manageable for the person in front of her. Emma holds an NCPS credential and draws on her three years of professional experience in the UK.
She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, grief and challenges around self‑esteem. LGBT matters, addictions and parenting concerns are among the areas she attends to, alongside life changes and career-related worries.
Emma combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy. She uses mindfulness techniques to help slow down racing thoughts and hypnotherapy when it suits a person’s goals. Her psychodynamic interest means she pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Emma encourages people to name small, achievable steps and to notice what already works for them. She emphasises collaboration, so clients help shape the pace and direction of therapy.
Emma works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How these approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement, helping them feel heard and clear about their aims. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers tools to change the patterns that maintain distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will discuss goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit the person's needs. Sessions are collaborative, so changes are tested and adapted as therapy progresses rather than imposed from the start.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy routine and making it easier to attend from different locations. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set up through the scheduling process. Online sessions can make short check-ins or full therapy appointments simpler to arrange around parenting, work and daily life.
