About Emma
Emma Marshall supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, ADHD and relationship struggles. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. Her manner is warm and approachable and she aims to make the first steps into therapy gentle and easy to take.
Emma believes life is threaded together by our connections to ourselves and others. She encourages people to make space to notice those links and to rebuild a sense of wholeness when things feel fractured.
How Emma works
In sessions she listens closely and walks alongside people as they work through difficult feelings and decisions. Her background spans 12 years supporting people with a wide range of issues including chronic illness and pain, neurodiversity-related experiences, parenting pressures and post-traumatic stress. She holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP.
Emma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. Sessions are practical and focused on what will help day to day, such as managing strong emotions, improving communication and developing coping strategies. She avoids jargon and aims to use language people recognise.
People often come with problems like abandonment wounds, guilt and shame, body image concerns or midlife questions. Emma offers a steady presence while exploring these topics and helps people notice small changes that add up over time.

Practical approaches for online support
Emma draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to make everyday life easier. One approach focuses on managing strong emotions and unhelpful thinking by helping people notice patterns, try small experiments and develop clearer coping skills; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on processing difficult experiences and trauma by creating a steady, step-by-step plan to face painful memories and reduce their impact on day-to-day functioning; this can help with post-traumatic stress and abuse-related distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will discuss options and help decide what fits best with someone’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy with Emma uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is good for a conversational session and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and written reflections between calls. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for people juggling busy lives.
