About Emily
Emily Pemberton is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with young adults and others on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem and depression. Emily also supports people facing life changes and those exploring ADHD-related difficulties.
Emily trained with a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred therapy and has additional study in Transactional Analysis and a short course in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s pace at the centre of the session. This means conversations focus on what matters most to the client and move at a comfortable speed.
In practice she listens closely and offers gentle, considered reflections to help people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions aim to clarify patterns, name difficult feelings and try out different ways of responding to them. Practical skills from DBT may be introduced when they fit the client’s goals.
Emily pays attention to how people relate to others, including attachment and abandonment concerns. She also works with issues such as body image, isolation, chronic illness and guilt or shame. Her approach mixes conversational listening with concrete coping steps when useful.
Stepping into counselling can feel daunting. Emily focuses on building a steady working relationship and on helping people find relief and clearer ways of living. To begin, clients follow the site booking steps to meet and discuss what they want from therapy.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Person-Centred Therapy is about putting the client's concerns at the heart of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting and allowing the client to set the pace and priorities. This approach helps with feeling stuck, low confidence and sorting out relationships.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, is skills-based and teaches practical ways to manage strong emotions and improve relationships. Short, teachable techniques from DBT can be useful for stress, anger and anxiety when a client wants clear coping tools.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals, needs and preferences, and they will agree together what to try. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or busy schedules. They can reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Think about what will help you engage most consistently, and discuss practical arrangements at the first meeting.
