About Emma

Emma Beveridge helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression using a person-focused style. She is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her, including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions are conversational and practical. Emma listens to what matters most and sets goals that make sense to each person.

Her practice pays attention to relationship issues, family difficulties, grief and anger. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress and problems after cancer. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication are common focuses in sessions.

Emma also supports people facing control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and the effects of infidelity or isolation. She brings solution-focused techniques to help people identify small, manageable changes they can try between sessions.

Clients can expect short-term goal work alongside space for deeper trauma-focused work when needed. The emphasis is on clear steps, regular review, and adjusting the approach if something isn’t helping. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Emma draws on client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, understanding the person’s experience and working at their pace. This approach helps people who want space to talk through feelings and make sense of what’s happening to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change everyday thinking and behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress where people want concrete tools to test between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor and client decide together which methods to try, based on the issues, goals and what feels manageable. Plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted if something isn’t helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please check which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when life is busy. Different formats can suit different needs - for example shorter phone check-ins for a quick update or video appointments for a longer conversation - so confirm current session choices when you arrange a first appointment.
