Emily Callaghan, BACP

Emily Callaghan is a UK-based therapist with six years of professional experience and a BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She specialises in supporting people experiencing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns.

Emily creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Her approach emphasises practical support alongside empathetic listening, helping clients to build coping strategies and greater self-understanding. She works collaboratively to identify goals and to tailor the therapeutic process to each person’s needs and circumstances.

Recognising that starting therapy takes courage, Emily acknowledges the significance of that first step and aims to make the initial experience as approachable and encouraging as possible. She accepts international clients and offers flexible ways to connect, making ongoing support accessible for people with different schedules and commitments.

Evidence-based approaches and convenient online care

Emily draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change patterns that contribute to stress and low mood. One common strand involves identifying and working with unhelpful thinking patterns - noticing how thoughts influence feelings and learning practical ways to shift them, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.

Another focus is skills-based work that builds emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques help clients develop tools for managing overwhelming feelings, improving communication, and navigating relationship challenges, including issues related to attachment and past hurt.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily works with each person to decide which evidence-based techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting pace and focus as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and supports continuity of care when in-person options are limited. For many clients, remote sessions provide a practical, effective way to engage in regular therapeutic work.
