About Emily
Counsellor (MBACP) with six years' experience. Emily Foord focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting strain and depression, and also works with issues such as anger, self-esteem and career change. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrative counselling to help people address patterns that cause ongoing distress.
Emily offers a straightforward, collaborative way of working. She listens and reflects back what she notices, then helps people try practical steps that fit their lives. Sessions aim to identify recurring behaviours and thoughts, and test small changes rather than relying on quick fixes.
Her background includes a BSc in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Emily has worked in residential addiction and mental health settings delivering group and individual therapy, alongside psycho-educational work. She also has experience in charitable counselling work.
Additional training includes radically open dialectical behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing, and she has studied nutrition and aspects of neuro-development and behavioural genetics. Those threads inform how she approaches addictive behaviours and compulsive patterns.
People who come to Emily can expect clear, plain discussion about what is causing difficulty and practical options to try between sessions. She supports exploration at a person’s own pace and revisits what is or isn’t helping as therapy progresses.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Emily draws on integrative counselling and motivational interviewing as core ways of working. Integrative counselling combines conversational reflection with practical exercises to help people spot patterns and try different responses; it is useful for relationship issues, anxiety and adjustment after life changes. Motivational interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and helps build readiness to change behaviours, which is often helpful for addictions and process problems.She also uses principles from radically open dialectical behavioural therapy to address rigid emotional patterns and overcontrol. That approach teaches specific skills for emotional expression and flexible problem solving, which can reduce isolation and compulsive responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences, and reviews progress as therapy continues. Sessions can mix reflection, skills practice and short between-session tasks so clients can test what helps.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help people fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements such as timing and whether to use audio or video when arranging the first appointment.
