About Emily

Counsellor (BACP), 3 years' counselling experience. Emily Hodson helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem and depression. She brings creativity and mindfulness into sessions and works in English across the United Kingdom.

Emily uses a person-centred way of working. That means conversations focus on what the client brings and on building understanding together. She also draws on mindfulness and creative activities to help people express difficult feelings and notice small changes.

Her recent role in creative recovery in the community shaped a flexible, practical style. Emily spent nine months as a school counsellor and has also worked more broadly in mental health settings. Those roles have informed how she adapts tools for different situations and ages.

Sessions often include talking, drawing, guided attention exercises and practical strategies for everyday moments. Emily aims to respond to what is happening in the room and to try different ways of working as needed.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns beyond her main specialties, including attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, control and dependent personality features, domestic violence, family problems, guilt and shame, intellectual disability, isolation, life purpose, mood and personality disorders, and postpartum depression.

Emily is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). International clients can be seen and sessions are held in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Emily uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's concerns first and follows what matters to them. This approach focuses on open conversation, reflecting what the client says and building a clearer sense of their situation. It helps when someone needs clearer perspective or emotional support.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without immediately reacting. These techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing distress. In addition Emily brings creative recovery methods into sessions, such as drawing or practical creative tasks, to help express feelings that are hard to put into words.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will try different techniques to find what fits. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding develops.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel, reducing time away from work or childcare, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and creative activities to remote sessions so the work can be practical and workable in everyday schedules.
