About Emily
Emily Pemberton is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger and low self‑esteem.
She offers a straightforward way of working. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, with reflective listening and careful attention to what matters most to the client. Emily uses person‑centred ideas from her postgraduate diploma and draws on techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where helpful.
In sessions she pays attention to everyday problems as well as deeper patterns. People bring things like feeling empty, trouble with attachment or abandonment, body image worries, chronic illness, or the strain of big life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD traits, dissociation, guilt and shame, isolation and family problems.
Emily aims to move at a pace set by the client. Conversations are practical and focused, with reflections to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She highlights skills for managing emotions and handling difficult moments as part of therapy.
Her background includes a postgraduate diploma in Person‑Centred therapy and two years studying Ecological Transactional Analysis. She has also studied a brief course in DBT. These strands inform how she listens, reflects and offers skills work during sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emily uses Client‑Centred Therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. That approach emphasises listening, reflective feedback and working at the client’s pace. It helps with emotional distress, relationship concerns and self‑esteem by making sense of everyday reactions and choices.She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) elements to teach concrete skills. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger, anxiety and intense mood shifts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Emily will discuss goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to use. She sees this as a collaborative process that adapts to how someone responds to different techniques.

Registered or accredited professionals on the platform can help plan how to use online time for reflection, skills coaching and practical problem solving.
