About Emma
Emma Harvey is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience in mental health. She works with adults and young people on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, LGBT and sexuality concerns, parenting strains, trauma, grief and life changes.
Her approach is practical and goal focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused ideas to look at thoughts, behaviours and emotions. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps the client can try between meetings and on noticing patterns that keep problems going.
Emma describes the work as collaborative. She helps people set manageable goals and checks progress each session. When helpful, she draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to manage strong feelings and improve coping.
She has experience with additional concerns such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and communication and control problems. Emma also supports people facing bereavement, cancer-related distress and the impact of disasters.
Sessions are practical and structured, with space to talk and to plan small changes. People who want direct, organised help with thinking patterns and everyday coping often find this style useful. Before booking, confirm the current session formats available.
How her approaches fit into online work
Emma often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives concrete exercises to try between sessions. Client-centred work underpins this by focusing on the person’s concerns and priorities, giving space to reflect and decide goals together.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and on mindfulness practices to slow reactions and increase present-moment noticing. These methods can help with anxiety, anger, self-harm urges, and intense stress by giving short, repeatable strategies for day-to-day use.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, aims and preferences and suggest an approach to try. Progress is reviewed regularly and methods are adjusted if they are not helping.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it practical to keep a skills log and try between-session tasks in real life, then review them with the therapist.
