   About Emma

   Emma Manthy is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue and grief. Emma lists a broad range of additional focuses, such as attachment and abandonment worries, body image, eating issues, chronic illness and pain, and communication or control difficulties.

   Emma has worked in the UK for nine years and also has eight years’ experience as a health and wellbeing coach. She runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. Her background means she combines one-to-one conversations with practical ideas learned from coaching and group teaching.

   In sessions Emma aims to meet each person where they are. She adapts the pace and focus to suit individual needs and preferences. She uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as part of a flexible, person-focused plan.

   People can expect conversations that balance listening with practical steps. Emma works to create space to talk through difficult experiences, and to develop skills for managing mood, stress and relationships. She explains things plainly and invites collaboration on goals and next steps.

   Emma works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. Practical details about session cost and how therapy is scheduled are provided through the booking process and the matching questionnaire available when starting therapy.

2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

   Emma often draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to build the motivation for change. This approach uses respectful conversation to uncover personal reasons for change and practical next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to focus on actions that match personal values.
   
   Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest which methods to try. Clients are invited to feedback so the plan can shift as progress is made.
   
   Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy schedules and keeping continuity when travelling or balancing work and family. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations when better timing is needed, or to avoid travel time while keeping regular momentum.
