Emma Marshall , BACP

Emma Marshall is a warm, empathetic and approachable therapist with 12 years of experience supporting diverse client groups. She works with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, loss, trauma and abuse, illness and disability, neurodiversity-related experiences, parenting challenges and young people’s needs. Her practice integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people navigate life changes, relationship strains, grief and issues around self-esteem and identity.

Emma is particularly interested in the connections that weave through our lives - the links we have with ourselves and with others - and how those connections influence wellbeing. She believes that, given space and compassionate support, people have an inherent capacity to heal and to bring fractured parts of themselves back into a sense of wholeness. In that work she sees her role as walking alongside clients, offering steady, nonjudgmental support as they explore difficult emotions and make practical changes.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, so Emma aims to make the process as gentle and accessible as possible. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and applies her training to create a thoughtful, person-centered space for change.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Emma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so everyday stress and anxiety become more manageable; this is useful for issues like mood difficulties, work stress and ADHD-related challenges. Another approach focuses on exploring and processing painful memories and emotional responses, offering ways to work through trauma, loss and complex relational wounds while building resilience and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy and Emma works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to a client’s goals, preferences and life circumstances, then tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than prescriptive.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - make it easier to access therapy around busy schedules and geographical constraints. These options offer flexible ways to maintain continuity of care, try different formats to see what feels most helpful, and engage in steady support even when life is unpredictable.
