About Emma
Emma Evans is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has four years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and addiction-related concerns. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Her approach centres on the person in front of her. She works in short, clear sessions that focus on real-life change. Emma treats each person as the expert on their own life, and she helps them find practical next steps that suit their situation.
How Emma works
Emma draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening shape how she builds trust in sessions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect to practise skills between meetings and bring real situations from their week for discussion. The work is intended to be direct but supportive, with space for emotions and for planning change.
Emma has experience with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and addiction. These include grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar reactions, chronic health issues and body image. She also supports people navigating adoption, attachment questions, and aspects of sexual identity and alternative sex culture.
People seeking appointments complete a short questionnaire on the platform and then arrange sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary with region and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Using ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and when motivation feels thin. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses; this can be helpful for intimacy, relationship patterns and attachment issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Emma will discuss what you want to change, your goals and how you prefer to work. Together you can try approaches, adjust what’s not helping and decide on homework or practical steps that fit your life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or want to check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and different time zones, while still drawing on ACT, CBT and attachment ideas with registered or accredited professionals.
