About Emily
Emily Callaghan works primarily through evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She is identified by name and offers a calm, straightforward way of working. Her language is plain and direct to make the first step easier for someone worried or unsure.
Emily is BACP accredited, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In sessions Emily creates a straightforward space where people can talk about what is causing them distress.
How Emily works
She focuses on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. Conversations are led by the person's priorities, with attention to patterns such as attachment or communication problems.
She has six years of professional experience in the UK and has supported people facing trauma and abuse, grief over relationship breakdown, and the persistent low mood that comes with anxiety or depression. Emily also helps with issues linked to body image, guilt and shame, and feeling isolated. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person.
She works on small, manageable goals and practical strategies to reduce stress and build confidence. Sessions also cover coping when someone is dealing with chronic pain, illness or ongoing caregiver strain. Emily accepts people internationally and runs sessions in English.
She offers a range of online formats so people can pick what feels simplest for them and fit therapy around other commitments.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Emily draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and changing unhelpful habits. One commonly used approach looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people spot and change thinking that fuels anxiety or low mood. Another useful approach concentrates on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people recognise how past relationships shape present reactions and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and choose techniques together with the person based on their goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the approach fits the issues being addressed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls let most of the conversation happen face to face, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging can suit those who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or health constraints while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
