About Emma
Emma Pereira is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience working in Canada and the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and has spent much of her career helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety and mood concerns. Emma also supports people dealing with sleep difficulties, low self-esteem and life changes.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats people with respect and sensitivity and sees therapy as a partnership. Clients are invited to set goals and to use practical strategies that fit their lives.
Emma draws on a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness, together with client-centred ways of working. She may also use motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to help with motivation and changing patterns.
In sessions she focuses on small, manageable steps. That can mean trying short behavioural experiments, practising grounding and breathing techniques, or working on clearer ways to think about problems. She aims to help people build tools they can use outside sessions.
Emma works with a wide range of concerns including panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship and workplace stress. She emphasises practical coping skills alongside conversations about values and meaning.
How Emma uses evidence-based approaches online
Emma commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural experiments, which can reduce panic symptoms and anxiety. ACT works on clarifying personal values and practising committed actions, helping people live alongside difficult feelings rather than fighting them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Emma treats the process as collaborative and will help the client decide which methods fit their goals, needs and comfort level. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on busy days. It also allows practical in-the-moment coaching for breathing, grounding and behavioural experiments so skills can be practised between sessions.
