About Emma
Emma Harratt is a counsellor who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people find direction and feel more confident. She offers a calm, respectful way of talking that focuses on what each person wants to change. Emma is BACP registered and has five years of professional experience in the UK.
She works with people dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, anger and trauma and people concerned about addictions or attention difficulties such as ADHD. Emma helps individuals reflect on life changes, commitment issues and communication problems.
Sessions are shaped around what the person brings. Emma aims to listen first, then help people clarify goals and take small, manageable steps. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and grounding, and narrative ideas can help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Discussions focus on what feels achievable, not on lengthy theory. Emma adapts the pace so people can move forward without feeling overwhelmed.
She asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.

How Emma's approaches work online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way of helping people find their own reasons to change. It suits people who feel stuck or uncertain and want to build small steps toward clearer goals. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, creating space for a person to talk through difficult feelings and form their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and bring focus to the present moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time, so the plan evolves if a different approach suits better. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, having shorter check-ins when needed, and joining sessions without travel time. The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online meetings to make therapy more reachable while keeping sessions focused on real-life change and manageable steps. -
