About Emma
Emma Eakins is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate grief and major life changes, and address concerns related to LGBT identity. Emma aims to offer respectful, sensitive support tailored to each person’s situation.
Her sessions focus on listening first and working with what the client brings. She adapts the conversation and the plan to fit practical needs.
Background and approach
This might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, identifying relationship patterns, or trying concrete steps to reduce immediate stress. Emma draws on approaches such as attachment work to look at how early relationships affect current feelings, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking.
She also uses client-centred and solution-focused techniques to help people find their own answers and make small, doable changes. Across her practice she emphasises compassion and respect. Emma aims to create a space where people can say difficult things without judgement.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets the pace. Practical matters are discussed openly. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
People can start by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online work
Emma often draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions; this can help when someone struggles with trust, fear of abandonment, or recurring relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying out small behavioural changes to relieve anxiety and mood problems. Client-centred methods are used alongside these approaches to ensure the conversation stays led by the person’s concerns and pace.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma discusses options with each person and adjusts methods to fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide what feels most helpful as therapy progresses rather than committing to a single model from the start.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions from different locations and offer flexibility around timing, which helps people continue care during life changes.
