Emma Harvey, BACP

Emma Harvey is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years' experience in mental health. She supports adults and young people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and difficulties with relationships and family life. Emma uses practical, straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to think things through.

Emma pays attention to how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact. She uses a mix of approaches that can include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to help set goals and try out new ways of coping. Sessions are collaborative - the client and Emma work together to decide what to focus on and which techniques to try.

She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and psychodynamic ideas when these seem helpful, for example when intense emotions or long-standing patterns keep coming up. Mindfulness techniques are used where noticing the present moment can reduce stress and rumination. The emphasis is on small, realistic steps that fit into everyday life.

Emma has worked with a wide range of concerns listed on her profile, including trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, ADHD, body image and caregiver stress. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Practical details about sessions and costs are handled through the site’s booking process.

If someone wants to get started they use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk and make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when emotional responses feel overwhelming.

Emma treats finding the right approach as something to work out together. She will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to help. Sessions are collaborative and may combine techniques from different approaches so the plan fits each person's needs.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use short check-ins when life gets busy.
