Emma Harratt, BACP

Emma Harratt is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing low self esteem, motivation struggles, and big life changes. Emma aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She encourages taking the first step and will adapt her approach to each person she meets.

Emma shapes sessions around what the client needs. She uses client-centred ways of working that let people lead the conversation. She also draws on mindfulness to help manage stress and anxiety. Motivational interviewing is used to support people wanting change, such as with addictions or commitment concerns.

Her practice includes support for issues such as depression, anger, grief and trauma and abuse. Emma also helps with relationship concerns, communication problems, family difficulties and jealousy. She offers practical ways to build confidence and cope with life transitions.

Sessions can explore how past experiences affect present feelings, using psychodynamic and narrative ideas when helpful. Emma works with young adult issues, fertility worries, emptiness and ADHD-related concerns in a straightforward way. She will co-create goals and a plan tailored to each person.

Emma asks people to choose the continue button on this profile to begin. She uses a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. The work is collaborative and paced to suit individual needs.

How Emma's approaches translate to online therapy

Emma uses client-centred therapy to place the person's priorities at the centre of each session. This means the counsellor follows what matters most to the client and adjusts pacing and topics to fit their goals. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce stress and help with anxiety and low mood. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build practical steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and try different ways of working together. The choice is collaborative and based on the client's goals, rhythms and preferences rather than a fixed method.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. Others value methods that include guided mindfulness exercises or goal-focused conversations for motivation. Emma will help plan sessions so they fit into everyday life and the practical needs of the person seeking support.
