About Emma
Emma Farrimond, BACP counsellor, has 14 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and grief. She also offers support for sleep problems, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. Sessions often focus on practical ways to manage everyday pressures.
She began in the private sector delivering time-limited employee assistance programmes and has worked across voluntary organisations, particularly in bereavement and domestic violence. She set up and ran a SureStart counselling service for parents and carers of young children and has run a private practice since 2014.
Her training includes a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy with Philosophy, a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Counselling (Integrative) and a recent Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Criminal Justice and Criminology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
In sessions she uses straightforward approaches that focus on thoughts, behaviours and practical problem-solving. Clients can expect short-term work where useful, and longer-term support when needed. She pays attention to how life events, grief and past hurt affect daily coping.
Emma also works with issues linked to chronic pain, illness and disability, codependency, communication problems, separation and divorce, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions aim to break unhelpful patterns and build more reliable habits for managing mood and stress.
How Emma uses practical approaches in online sessions
Emma combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred conversation to address current problems. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. Client-centred work gives time to be heard and to explore what matters to the client without pressure.She also draws on aspects of existential and solution-focused work when useful. Existential ideas help people consider meaning, responsibility and choices during life changes. Solution-focused techniques aim to identify small, concrete steps that make life easier between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust as work progresses. This collaborative way helps pin down what feels most effective for the individual.
