Emily Pemberton, BACP

Emily Pemberton is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of clinical experience, offering person-centred support designed around each individual's pace and priorities. She completed a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred therapy and has undertaken two years of study in Ecological Transactional Analysis along with a brief course in Dialectical Behavior Therapy - training that informs a nuanced, flexible approach to stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Emily works with attentive empathy and careful reflection, creating a therapeutic space where people can explore difficult feelings and life challenges safely. She places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and growth, combining gentle, considered observations with practical focus when appropriate. This approach supports work with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, ADHD, and problems connected to guilt, shame, isolation, and attachment.

Registered with BACP, which indicates membership of a recognised professional counselling and psychotherapy body, Emily offers an effective and compassionate style aimed at helping people find relief, build resilience, and move toward the life they want to lead.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Emily integrates Client-Centred Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to meet clients where they are. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a respectful, non-directive environment where a person can explore feelings, values, and choices - it is especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as Emily has trained in, emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress - useful for anxiety, anger, and emotion regulation challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Emily works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting sessions over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy lives, manage mobility or health constraints, and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances. Registered professionals like Emily can use these options to deliver consistent, accessible support while tailoring the pace and format to each individual.
