About Emma
Emma Dalgleish is a registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. Her style is warm and direct.
She aims to listen carefully and respond with clarity. Emma adapts her approach to each person rather than using one set method for everyone. She combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred listening and practical tools when useful.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now, and on small changes you can try between sessions. She is used to helping people with stress, anxiety, addiction-related issues and low self-esteem. Emma also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, career concerns and life transitions.
Additional areas she works with include ADHD, body image and caring for someone with illness. Her manner is empathic and non-judgemental while remaining honest and straightforward. Sessions aim to be a place to make sense of painful experiences and to work out realistic next steps.
Hypnotherapy and relationship-focused tools such as the Gottman Method can be used when they suit a person’s goals. Emma offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. She works in English and does not take international clients.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss different ways of working and choose methods together with each person, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and realistic.
Online formats offer practical advantages for many people. Video calls let conversations feel similar to face-to-face meetings. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or busy schedules and can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments.
