Online support
She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to teach practical strategies for managing strong emotions and improving coping. These skills are useful for anxiety, anger and relationship challenges and can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma will discuss methods together and adapt what she does based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She aims to make decisions about technique a collaborative part of each session.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and allow visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break in the day. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to attend therapy around work, family and other commitments.
