About Emma
Emma Harratt is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on self-esteem, motivation, coping with life changes and related concerns such as anxiety, stress and depression. Emma uses a mix of conversational and reflective methods to help people work through practical problems and recurring patterns.
She draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise each person’s perspective and choices. Mindfulness techniques feature in her work to help with felt stress and to steady attention. Motivational interviewing is used when people want clearer reasons to change and need help building momentum.
Emma also works with narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. That can help with issues such as addiction, trauma, grief, codependency and relationship difficulties. She aims to identify patterns, then try concrete alternatives in day-to-day life.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with a focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Emma adapts the way she talks and plans work to suit each person’s preferences and circumstances. She encourages short-term goals alongside exploring longer-term themes.
People often come for help with communication problems, commitment worries, fertility-related stress, feelings of emptiness, or challenges faced by young adults. Emma works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients follow the service process to match and book an initial appointment.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The therapist listens closely, follows the person’s priorities and supports their decisions. This approach helps when someone wants to clarify values, improve confidence or make a particular life change.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These are useful for managing stress, anxiety and strong emotions by learning to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without being swept away by them.
Motivational interviewing helps people who are unsure about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build internal motivation and resolve mixed feelings about taking steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins that do not require travel, and reduce the time needed for appointments so therapy can be balanced with everyday commitments.
