About Emma
Emma Kennedy offers a calm and direct way to start when life feels overwhelming. She focuses on practical steps people can take to manage addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and big life changes. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she works to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
Emma has 13 years of experience working across a range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems and loneliness.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and self-worth challenges, and she pays particular attention to women’s issues. Her approach is adaptable and person-focused. Conversations are shaped around individual goals and what helps in day-to-day life.
Sessions combine talking and practical strategies so people leave with clear steps they can try between meetings. Emma draws on a mix of therapies to guide her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred methods, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas. She brings an openness to deeper questions about meaning and choices through elements of existential therapy.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to help find the right fit, then schedule appointments according to availability.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s own experience at the heart of each session. That means the counsellor listens carefully and follows what you find most important, which can help with building self-trust and clarity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma treats the choice of methods as a shared decision based on your needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the focus as you learn what helps in practice.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to match different situations. Video allows fuller interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simple way to check in without bandwidth demands, and messaging works well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what suits you best.
