Emma Poxon, NCPS

Emma Poxon offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. Emma uses a person-centred way of working and aims to be genuine, warm and on the client’s side. They invite people to talk about whatever is most important to them, whether that means looking at the past or focusing on the present. Emma practices person-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. That means the client leads the conversation while the counsellor listens with empathy and respect. Sessions can be structured or open-ended depending on what the client prefers and how things are progressing. Emma has a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, and holds NCPS as a credential. Over four years of work in the field have shaped a practical, down-to-earth style that values honesty and emotional safety. Typical issues addressed include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Emma also focuses on concerns such as body image, chronic illness, codependency, dissociation and domestic violence among other areas. Sessions begin with a conversation about goals and needs, with regular check-ins to see if the work is helpful. Prospective clients are asked to message Emma before booking any live sessions to confirm suitability and arrangements.

How person-centred therapy works online

Person-centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens with empathy, offers genuine responses and avoids directing the conversation. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings, build self-trust and set their own pace for change.

Because the work is led by the client, sessions can be flexible in tone and structure. Some people prefer a gentle, open conversation each week, while others like clearer goals and regular reviews. Emma will check in regularly to make sure the approach feels right and will collaborate on changes where needed.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Finding a good fit often means trying a few sessions to see how the style, timing and practicalities work with daily life. Many people find online work easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel, or appreciate avoiding the time spent travelling to appointments. The therapist will help tailor the way you meet so sessions can fit your routines and needs.
