Emma Marshall, BACP

Emma Marshall is a warm, empathetic and approachable therapist who has supported people for over 12 years. She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, loss, trauma and abuse, long-term illness and disability, neurodiversity-related experiences, parenting challenges and support for young people. Her practice centers on creating a gentle, accessible space where people can begin to explore what matters to them.

Emma is interested in the connections that shape our lives - connections to ourselves and to others - and how those threads influence wellbeing. She holds a belief in the human capacity to heal when given time and space, and she describes the therapeutic process as one that can help reunite the fragmented parts of a person so they feel more whole again.

She sees her role as walking alongside clients rather than directing them, offering steady support as they navigate change and recovery. Emma aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting by keeping the process approachable and compassionate.

Emma holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practices in English and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor support to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Emma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the problems a person brings. For anxiety and depression she applies structured, skills-focused methods that help people build coping strategies, manage difficult thoughts and improve day-to-day functioning. For trauma and abuse, she employs trauma-informed evidence-based approaches that prioritize pacing, safety and gradual processing of painful memories to reduce distress and support recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the work; Emma treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss different options with each person, consider their needs, goals and preferences, and together decide which evidence-based techniques are most suitable to try first. The plan can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Emma is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, giving people flexibility to choose what fits their life. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family and other commitments, and allow continuity of care when attending in-person sessions is difficult. Registered professionals can provide focused, effective help through these remote formats while adapting techniques to suit the way each person prefers to communicate.
