About Emma
Emma Barty is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people managing ADHD, autism spectrum issues, trauma and abuse. She also supports concerns around eating, sleeping, parenting and major life changes.
Her practice blends talking therapy with creative and body-based methods. Emma uses client-centred ways of working alongside dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness and somatic and trauma-focused approaches. She offers practical exercises such as visualisation, breathing and movement alongside conversation.
Sessions often include image-making, play and movement to help people express difficult feelings without relying only on words. She has experience supporting people affected by bereavement, bullying, domestic violence and chronic health issues, and has worked in statutory and charity settings in the past.
In the first session she focuses on why someone is looking for counselling and what they want to achieve. This initial meeting covers how she will work, session length and fees, and questions to check that the approach is appropriate.
Emma uses regular supervision as part of her practice. If therapy continues she and the client agree a working plan together and review progress and practical aspects such as timing and frequency of sessions.

Approach-driven online counselling and practical methods
Emma integrates client-centred work with dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques in her online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation is guided by the client’s concerns and goals, focusing on listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them. DBT provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving everyday coping, useful for anxiety, panic and mood difficulties. Mindfulness practices teach attention and breathing skills that can reduce rumination and support sleep and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emma will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods to try first, adapting the plan as progress is reviewed. This helps match techniques to someone’s goals, comfort with creative or body-based methods, and day-to-day routine.
The therapist’s biography notes online counselling and telephone counselling as delivery methods, but it does not list other formats. Please confirm which session types are currently offered before booking. Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people combine talking, guided visualisation and simple movement or breathing exercises within a session to suit practical needs and preferences.
