About Emma
Emma Poxon welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or life changes. They offer a calm, non-judgemental presence where clients can talk about difficult topics. Emma aims to help each person feel heard and to work at the pace that suits them.
Emma uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, empathy and supporting the client to make their own choices about what to explore.
Background and approach
This can suit people facing grief, depression, trauma, phobias, addiction concerns, sleep problems or low self-esteem. Emma holds a BSc (Hons) Psychology and an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice. They have four years of practice experience and hold the NCPS credential.
Their background blends psychological theory with an experiential, relational style. In sessions Emma stays authentic and avoids directing the conversation. Instead they offer unconditional positive regard and help clients notice what matters most.
Therapy may be more structured or more open, depending on what each person finds helpful. Emma checks in regularly about progress and adapts the way they work to match goals and needs. People who prefer to move at their own pace and lead the topics often find this approach comfortable.
Emma is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Person-centred care and online options
Emma practises person-centred therapy which means the conversation is guided by the client's priorities. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and decide what to change. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, grief, phobias and relationship-related struggles.The aim is collaborative. Emma will check in about goals and adapt the way they work to suit each person. Together they decide whether sessions should follow a clear plan or stay open-ended, and they review progress regularly to make sure the approach still fits the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to find a rhythm that fits work, family and daily life.
