Emily Pemberton

Emily Pemberton is a counselling psychotherapist who aims to support people dealing with anger and related stresses. She writes and listens with care, and helps clients take small steps towards feeling steadier. She works in English and practises from the United Kingdom, registering her professional status as BACP.

With five years' clinical experience, she uses a person-centred way of working. This means sessions focus on the person's priorities and pace, with straightforward reflections rather than jargon. She also draws on elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, using practical skills for managing intense emotions when needed.

Sessions often start by pinning down what matters most right now. The therapist pays close attention to patterns of thought and feeling, and helps people try things that might reduce overwhelm. Conversations are gentle and detailed, not rushed, so people can explore their situation safely.

Emily has helped people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting worries, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also offers support around ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and body image concerns. Practical coping strategies are mixed with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a core part of change.

If someone is unsure where to begin, she encourages a short initial conversation to map out goals. The aim is to find realistic steps towards feeling more able to cope and to live in a way that feels more manageable and meaningful.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Emily uses person-centred work and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to guide sessions. Person-centred therapy focuses on the client's priorities, reflecting back what is said and following the pace the client sets. It helps people who need a steady, non-directive space to think through feelings and choices.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Those skills can be useful for anger, strong anxiety, or when overwhelming feelings make day-to-day life harder.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adjust the balance of reflective listening and skills training as progress is made.

For practicalities, the biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access consistent support while keeping therapy adaptable to their schedule.
