About Emma
Emma Pereira brings 17 years of therapeutic experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Emma listens closely, helps clients name their priorities, and works with them to set realistic goals.
Her background includes long-term work across Canada and the UK. Emma draws on a range of methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and client-centred approaches.
How Emma works
She adapts techniques to suit each person rather than using a fixed programme. Sessions are collaborative. Emma believes the client is the expert on their own life, so she and the client agree on what to try and how to measure progress.
Conversations are straightforward and down-to-earth. Practical tools and small experiments are commonly used between sessions. She helps people with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and coping with life changes.
Emma also focuses on mood disorders, panic, workplace stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and issues around guilt and shame. Emma works with people navigating identity and life purpose questions, immigration-related stresses, loneliness and the challenges young adults often face. Her approach also supports those dealing with seasonal affective disorder and women's issues.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How Emma’s approaches work online
Emma commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then trying practical experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without fighting them and choose actions that match their values. Emma also draws on client-centred techniques that prioritise the person’s experience. That means she will listen closely and shape sessions around what matters most to the individual. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process - she will work with the client to find the best fit based on goals, preferences and how they respond in the first sessions. Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for working through exercises together and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit those who need a simpler setup or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or when typing feels easier. The range of formats makes it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.Start online instead of waiting
