Emma Rigg, BACP

Emma Rigg is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns, and supports those navigating major life transitions. Emma approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can be used to overcome current challenges.

Her practice also addresses related areas including attachment issues, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, family difficulties, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation. Emma draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients can explore feelings, build coping skills, and consider new ways of relating to themselves and others. She offers supportive guidance for people taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, meeting them where they are and helping them move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Attachment and Client-Centered Approaches in Online Therapy

Emma uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and important relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional responses. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment, or repeating relational cycles to understand their attachment needs and develop more secure ways of relating.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the person at the center of the work and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. This approach supports people who want a nonjudgmental space to process emotions, build self-awareness, and develop their own solutions to problems such as anxiety, depression, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emma works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work over time, combining elements of different approaches when helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access therapy from home, during work breaks, or while managing caregiving and other commitments, helping people maintain continuity of care even when life is busy.
