About Emma
Emma Pereira is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 17 years of professional experience in Canada and the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem and depression, and also works with issues such as addiction, anger and career concerns.
Emma’s way of working treats the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. She recognises that each person knows their life best and prefers to set goals together. Sessions use practical techniques drawn from a mix of approaches to help with day-to-day problems and mood difficulties.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred methods, with elements of mindfulness and motivational interviewing added as needed. That means sessions can include looking at thinking patterns, practising present-moment awareness, and focusing on values and action steps.
Emma also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, commitment concerns, and the emotional effects of immigration and loneliness. She supports people dealing with panic, seasonal mood shifts, and challenges common in young adulthood and the workplace.
People can expect clear discussion of goals, short-term strategies for coping, and collaborative planning for change. The focus is on concrete steps you can try between sessions and reviewing what works.
To begin, visitors are invited to complete the service’s matching process and arrange a first session. This helps outline practical session arrangements and what to expect in the initial meeting.

How Emma uses ACT, CBT and client-centred work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful despite difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing thinking patterns and trying small behaviour changes. It can help with anxiety, panic, sleep problems and mood by breaking cycles that keep difficulties going.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a collaborative relationship where the person leads the pace and topics. This approach supports self-directed reflection and helps people find their own solutions.
Working together, the therapist will discuss which approach or combination suits your goals and preferences. Deciding what to try is a joint process and may change as practical needs and priorities emerge.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so conversations can happen around other commitments.
