About Emma

Emma Harvey is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years' experience in mental health and supports adults and young people through common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress and anger. Emma also helps with issues around self-esteem, ADHD, grief and relationships, and she lists Narcissism among areas she works with.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, and on small, achievable steps clients can try between meetings. She uses a mix of talking therapy methods to suit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Emma draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred ideas and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking. These methods are used to understand patterns, reduce distressing symptoms and build clearer ways of coping. The emphasis is on real-life skills and clearer self-understanding.

She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk things through and set goals. Emma works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, parenting strains, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing life changes and relationship strain.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Emma often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. CBT tends to focus on practical steps and homework tasks that can reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That approach emphasises listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers rather than following a strict agenda. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques may be used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when strong feelings are a barrier to daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then tailor methods together. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular meetings, fit a short check-in during a lunch break or focus on specific skills practice between sessions. The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available formats before booking.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
