Emma Martin, BACP

Emma Martin offers a person-centred way of working that puts the relationship first. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she draws on four years of practice in the United Kingdom to support people through difficult times. Emma aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and understood.

Her background includes roles in the mental health sector supporting adults, young adults, and families before training formally as a counsellor. She has worked with people who have experienced sexual violence and domestic abuse, and has developed experience helping people with complex needs across different settings.

Emma helps with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship problems, grief and bereavement, parenting strain, stress and anxiety, addictions, eating and body image issues, and difficulties linked to gender dysphoria. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, career worries, and life changes.

Her practice draws on person-centred principles alongside solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing. This means sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and what matters to them, with practical steps explored when helpful. Emma says the therapeutic relationship itself is central and works collaboratively rather than directing people.

Emma is bound by the Ethical Framework for counselling professions and keeps her practice up to date. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are encouraged to check current session options before booking.

How Emma’s approaches work online

Emma uses person-centred (client-centred) ways of working that focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through difficult feelings and life changes.

She also uses motivational interviewing, a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to make changes and to build small, manageable steps. Solution-focused therapy appears in her work too, emphasising practical goal-setting and brief strategies that move a person towards the changes they want.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emma will work collaboratively to decide which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they can try different ways of working and adapt the focus as therapy progresses.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online or remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to attend. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people maintain continuity of care and to build therapeutic work into everyday life.
