Emily Pemberton, BACP

Emily Pemberton is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and completed a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred therapy, alongside two years of study in Ecological Transactional Analysis and a brief course in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Her work focuses on areas such as stress and anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and ADHD. She also attends to related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, isolation and family difficulties. Emily uses a gentle, attentive style that prioritises the client’s pace and perspective, offering considered reflections to help people explore their experience more clearly.

Emily believes the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for change and growth and aims to create a space where clients can begin to unpick confusing or overwhelming material. She supports people through moments of transition and distress with empathy and practical focus, helping them move toward the life they want to live.

Client-Centered and DBT-Informed Care Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, emphasising empathic listening, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for insight and growth. This approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship issues and adapting to life changes by allowing exploration at a comfortable pace.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) introduces practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness and tolerating distress. It can be especially useful for people dealing with strong anger, overwhelming stress or relationship difficulties, offering concrete strategies to navigate challenging moments.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Emily will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the way she works as the therapeutic relationship develops.

Online therapy with Emily is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or elsewhere, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each step of the therapeutic process.
