Emma Rigg, BACP

Emma Rigg is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience who works with people seeking support for stress, anxiety, depression and LGBT-related concerns. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her training and commitment to recognised professional standards.

Emma approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries strengths that can be used to face and overcome current challenges. She supports clients in identifying those strengths and applying them to situations that feel overwhelming, helping them move toward greater balance and wellbeing.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Emma offers steady, respectful support throughout that process. Her work is grounded in collaboration, listening closely to clients and tailoring sessions to their needs as they work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Emma offers Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in an online format, explaining each approach in clear, accessible terms. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and ways of relating to others - it can help when difficulties with closeness, separation, or repeated relationship patterns cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathetic, nonjudgmental listening and supporting clients to lead their own exploration of thoughts and feelings - it is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and navigating life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Emma works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best. She welcomes discussion about goals, preferences and practical needs so that sessions can be adapted as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access consistent care from wherever you are based in the United Kingdom. Registered professionals can use these options to maintain continuity, respond to changing needs and make therapy more accessible.
