Emma Harratt

Emma Harratt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on building motivation and self-esteem while helping people cope with life changes and emotional strain. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs.

She uses a range of approaches to support people through stress, anxiety, anger and low mood. Sessions are shaped around what the person brings, with practical ways to boost confidence and manage challenging feelings. Emma also works with issues such as addictions, grief and trauma and helps people navigate relationship and family concerns.

Emma draws on Client-Centred Therapy to put the person at the heart of sessions and on Mindfulness Therapy to develop present-moment coping skills. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to understand what matters most and to help people find momentum for change.

Her practice is grounded in simple, approachable conversation rather than jargon. She aims to agree clear goals and small steps so progress feels manageable. If you are unsure where to begin, she will help you shape the first session and a plan that fits your situation.

Emma encourages people to recognise the courage in starting therapy and seeks to create a respectful space for honest conversation. Booking begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

How Emma's approaches translate to online work

Emma uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus sessions on the person's own priorities, offering space to be heard and to set goals that matter. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as practical exercises and short skills practice to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and find the small steps that build momentum.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods based on what feels useful. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and revisited as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. 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 let people use mindfulness exercises between meetings and keep momentum from week to week while accommodating changing schedules.
