About Emma

Emma Spick is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of experience. She works primarily with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in the United Kingdom.

Emma uses a person-centred approach and draws on other methods when helpful. In person-centred work she treats the client as the expert on their own life and focuses on creating space to talk things through. This means listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions over time.

People come to her when life feels overwhelming, when they are coping with loss, or when anxiety and low mood make daily tasks harder. She also supports concerns linked to ageing and geriatric issues, guilt and shame, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women's issues. The work tends to be conversational and paced to the client’s needs.

Sessions aim to help a person notice patterns, process difficult feelings, and practise different ways of responding. Emma may introduce other therapeutic tools as needed alongside person-centred work. She uses a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, obtained in 2022, as the basis for her practice and is BACP registered.

Her style is straightforward and grounded. She encourages people to speak about what matters to them and to test small changes between sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Emma primarily uses a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening and helping the client find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings, make sense of experiences, and build confidence in their own decisions.

She also draws on other evidence-based techniques when appropriate, bringing in practical strategies to manage anxiety or process traumatic events. These additions aim to give clients tools they can try between sessions to reduce distress and test different responses to difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. This collaborative process may change as needs evolve.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel, and to make regular check-ins easier to schedule. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that suits the client's circumstances.
