About Emma
Emma Marsh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar.
Emma uses straightforward language and an open manner to make it easier to start difficult conversations. She brings 11 years of professional experience to her work and holds BACP registration.
Background and approach
Emma aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can name what feels hard and think about what to try next. The first meetings focus on understanding immediate concerns and what the client wants to change. Her practice draws on approaches that help people understand relationships and patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and learn practical coping skills.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Emma keeps explanations simple and looks for small, doable steps between meetings. People often come for help with attachment worries, communication problems, commitment issues, or the aftermath of separation and loss.
She also supports those with ADHD-related challenges, caregiver stress, body image concerns, or difficulties linked to dissociation and co-morbidity. Emma uses gentle questioning and reflective listening to help clients see options and build skills. Over time she focuses on skills that reduce distress, improve relationships, and increase confidence.
She encourages regular review so goals stay relevant and realistic.
How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. It looks at trust, closeness and how people respond under stress, which can be useful for relationship and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and change routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful for intense emotions or repeated conflicts.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different approaches and together with the client decide what to try first based on needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can combine ideas from attachment work, CBT or DBT so the plan fits the person rather than a single model.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and sharing of worksheets, phone sessions work well when a quieter voice-only check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or other commitments and to try different ways of working without travelling.
