About Emma

Emma Fleming is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-centred approach to help people when life feels overwhelming. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred ways of working to help people notice what matters, and take small steps towards it. Emma holds BACP registration and has six years of professional experience in the UK.

She helps with everyday pressures such as stress, anxiety and low mood, and supports people facing relationship strains, grief, or issues with self-esteem and motivation. She also offers support around addiction concerns, sleep difficulties, compassion fatigue and the challenges that come with major life changes. Emma has worked with people affected by discrimination, domestic violence and other forms of trauma.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Emma listens without judgement and helps people find realistic steps they can try between meetings. Therapy may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising simple mindfulness, and clarifying personal values to guide decisions.

Emma also works with concerns linked to parenting, blended families, adoption and foster care, ageing and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD. She can talk through issues around attachment, abandonment and commitment worries.

If you are thinking about starting therapy, Emma encourages a gentle first step. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and will work with you to plan bookings that suit your schedule.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping after loss. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emma will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together you can try an approach and review whether it feels helpful, adapting the plan over time.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to continue therapy while living outside the therapist's immediate area. Ask about the current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements can be planned to suit your routine.
