About Emma
Emma Donnelly is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience and is currently studying for an MSc in Psychology. Emma focuses on practical support for people facing relationship and family stress, grief and parenting challenges, and difficulties with attention and memory.
Emma believes people know their own stories best and draws on their strengths when working together.
Background and approach
She aims to make early sessions straightforward and clear, helping clients set small, manageable goals. Her tone is calm and direct, suitable for someone looking for steady, practical help. In later sessions Emma pays attention to how attachments and family patterns shape current problems.
She can help people untangle issues around blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and the stresses carers often face. She also offers support for those dealing with addiction, trauma, or sexual assault and abuse. She has experience addressing mood-related problems such as postpartum depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder and panic attacks.
Emma is mindful of cultural and prejudice-related stresses and discusses these openly in therapy when they are relevant to the person seeking support. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged from the United Kingdom. Emma uses straightforward techniques that help people manage feelings, improve relationships and rebuild routine after loss or upheaval.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to therapist availability.

Online support
Another commonly used method focuses on understanding attachment and family patterns. Sessions look at how past relationships influence current difficulties and teach new ways of relating and communicating. This can be helpful for blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Emma discusses options and adapts methods based on each person's needs, goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to find techniques that suit how a person prefers to work and what they want to change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face contact when that is helpful, phone sessions are useful when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
