About Emma
Emma Harratt is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people facing low self-esteem, trouble finding motivation, life transitions, stress and anxiety. Her practice also addresses addictions, grief, anger and depression alongside relationship and family concerns.
Emma uses practical conversation to help people understand what is driving their reactions. She listens for patterns in how someone talks about themselves and their relationships. From there she helps people try different ways of responding and noticing what changes.
Her sessions draw on client-centred work that supports personal choice and on mindfulness techniques to calm racing thoughts. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people who feel stuck, and narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that repeat over time.
Emma aims to make sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. She focuses on small, manageable steps rather than big promises. That can mean working on communication skills, setting short-term goals, or learning ways to reduce impulsive reactions.
People who come to her often want help with anger that shows up at home or work, recurring resentment, or snapping at people they care about. She asks practical questions about daily routines and relationships, then co-creates a plan to try in between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s choices and priorities first. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and the counsellor follows the client’s lead to work through anger, confidence, or life changes.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity. It helps when anger feels automatic by training people to notice bodily signals and thought patterns before they act.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term method for people who feel stuck. It uses straightforward questions to uncover what someone cares about and to build small steps toward change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk through options with the client and decide together which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice can be reviewed as things change over time.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or meeting across different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and motivational tasks for remote sessions so people can practise them between meetings.
