About Emma

Emma Harvey is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience in mental health. She works with young people and adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, anger and low self-esteem. Emma also supports people facing depression, ADHD concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, eating difficulties and challenges around gender and sexuality.

Her practice is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on the thoughts, behaviours and feelings that keep problems going. Emma uses clear goals so people can see small steps forward and measure progress.

She draws on a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These methods are used flexibly to match the person’s needs rather than fitting the person to a method.

Emma aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through difficult emotions and learn tools for coping. She emphasises teamwork and helps people try out new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

Practical matters such as scheduling and session rhythm are discussed together. Emma uses a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients may be accommodated. Prospective clients are invited to start by completing a short questionnaire and arranging a time to meet.

How Emma's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s experience in the moment and on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Online work lets people describe their feelings and be heard while the counsellor follows their pace and reflections.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises. Delivered remotely, CBT can include between-session tasks and written worksheets to practise new ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improved communication. These skills can be demonstrated and practised in session and then applied to everyday situations between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit the person's goals and preferences, and will adapt strategies as progress is reviewed.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow follow-up tasks to be shared digitally. It also supports short check-ins or longer weekly meetings depending on what suits the person.
