About Emma

Emma Conlon works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD using a relational approach that can focus on the past or the present. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Emma draws on relational psychotherapeutic work to look at how people connect with others and with themselves. She helps people consider the part they play in relationships and how patterns of relating can show up again and again. Sessions can include reflective discussion about past experiences or concentrate on what is happening now.

She sometimes introduces mindful exercises or simple meditation based on her background in bodywork, and only uses these when a client wants them. Emma describes her way of working as open and attentive, and she is willing to challenge clients gently to notice patterns that are holding them back.

Practical issues such as communication problems, commitment worries, codependency, separation and divorce, and coping with chronic illness are among the topics she addresses. She also works with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment and ageing.

Emma practises in the United Kingdom, offers sessions in English and is registered with the BACP. Information on fees varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Emma uses relational psychotherapy which looks at patterns in how people relate to others and to the therapist. This approach helps when relationships, communication problems or longstanding interaction patterns are causing distress by making them easier to notice and discuss.

She also draws on mindful practices and simple meditation informed by a background in bodywork. These techniques can help with stress, anxiety and grounding during times of change, and are only introduced if the client wants to try them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which ways of working suit the client best, adapting methods as the work progresses.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into a busy week easier by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or an evening slot. They can also let people use video, audio or shorter check-ins depending on practical needs, subject to what Emma currently offers.
