About Emma
Emma Barty is a counsellor with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her credential. Emma works with people facing anxiety, stress and mood difficulties, and she also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, ADHD and related concerns such as sleep and eating issues.
Emma offers a flexible, person-centred way of working. Sessions are conversational and practical. She uses talking therapy alongside creative activities such as art, movement and guided visualisation to suit different ways of expressing difficult feelings.
Her background includes roles in NHS settings and with charities that support bereavement and mental health. That mix of community and clinical experience informs how she approaches day-to-day challenges and loss. Emma pays attention to how past experiences and attachment issues shape current worries.
Therapy with Emma can include mindfulness and somatic ideas that help people notice how stress shows up in the body. She also uses techniques drawn from dialectical behaviour therapy to help with strong emotions and getting through crisis moments.
In a first meeting she asks about what brought someone to therapy and what they want to change. Practical matters such as session length, scheduling and fees are discussed early on so the work is clear from the start. Emma emphasises ongoing conversation about progress and adapts the plan as needs shift.
How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emma uses person-centred work, dialectical behaviour therapy ideas and mindfulness in her practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space for people to talk about what matters to them and helps when someone needs emotional support and clarity. DBT-informed techniques teach practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Mindfulness methods encourage gentle attention to thoughts, breath and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and support calm.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Emma will work with each person to understand their needs and goals, then try methods that fit those aims. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan together so the work stays relevant and useful.
The profile does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, cut travel time and allow follow-ups from different locations. It can also make it simpler to use movement, breathing and creative exercises between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and coping strategies for remote work to match individual needs and practical constraints.
