About Emma
Emma Manthy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar mood difficulties. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy and relationships, and concerns linked to LGBT identities.
Emma combines talking therapy with coaching skills she has used for the past eight years. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while supporting practical change.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action that matters to them.
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are brought in to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Emma has experience running psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. She also works with neurodiversity and long-term health concerns, including chronic pain, illness and disability.
Her experience extends to communication problems, codependency, grief, eating-related issues and compassion fatigue. People who want clear practical steps alongside empathic listening may find this style helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details so the format meets your needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take steps in that direction despite hard feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and for people feeling stuck in life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviours to change mood and stress levels. It often suits people wanting practical strategies for anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to strong emotions, which can aid stress, trauma responses and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as things change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it straightforward to continue work while managing chronic illness or caring commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to suit video or audio sessions, helping therapy slot into everyday life.
