Emma Stannard, NCPS

Emma Stannard is a Pluralistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Mindfulness Coach practising from Devon in the United Kingdom. With three years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, she offers a warm, collaborative space for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression or major life changes.

Emma takes a pluralistic, person-centred approach that blends different therapeutic methods to suit each individual's needs. She works with practical tools and reflective exploration to help clients who feel stuck, lack motivation, or are navigating transitions such as separation, pregnancy and childbirth, midlife challenges, or caregiver stress. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control issues, guilt and shame, panic and trauma responses, and feelings of isolation.

Sessions emphasise partnership and empowerment - Emma supports clients to uncover patterns, build resilience and develop strategies that foster greater inner strength and a clearer sense of purpose. Her style is relaxed yet focused, aiming to honour each person’s unique story while guiding them toward more meaningful, manageable ways of living. The NCPS credential indicates a recognised standard of training in her field.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Emma integrates Hypnotherapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into her work, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to explore thoughts and feelings and can support work on stress, habits and emotional regulation. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationship patterns influence present behaviour and can be helpful for attachment issues, chronic relationship difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps toward change, making it useful for clients who want clear, goal-oriented progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences, and adapts the work over time so the chosen approach remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Emma is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from registered professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to continue around work, family or other commitments.
