Emma Harratt, BACP

Emma Harratt is a UK-based counsellor with five years of professional experience and a commitment to supporting people through change. She is BACP registered - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to every conversation.

Emma focuses on helping clients build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while navigating life transitions. She adapts her dialogue and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique situation, recognising that no two journeys are the same. Her practice emphasises listening and collaboration so that goals feel relevant and achievable.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Emma acknowledges that effort while offering practical, tailored guidance. Prospective clients can expect a supportive environment where work is shaped around their needs, pace, and aspirations as they move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Emma draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on respectful listening and empathy, giving clients space to explore their feelings and build self-confidence; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, supporting people who are coping with overwhelming thoughts or everyday pressure. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused conversation style designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, which can be useful for areas such as addictions or commitment challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Emma can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, during life transitions, or when in-person sessions are not convenient.
