Emma Poxon , NCPS

Emma Poxon creates a warm, accepting space where difficult topics can be explored at the client’s pace. They work in a person-centred way, offering authentic, non-judgemental presence so individuals can talk about what matters to them across past, present, and future. Their style is congruent and empathetic, focused on building a trusting bond and supporting clients to discover what works best for their lives.

Emma holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, and the NCPS credential. The BSc (Hons) is an undergraduate degree in psychology, while the MA is a postgraduate qualification emphasizing person-centred and experiential methods, blending scientific understanding with more arts-based aspects of therapy. These qualifications inform a practice that values unconditional positive regard, empathetic listening, and a non-directive stance.

Sessions are guided by the client’s experience rather than by a fixed agenda; this can mean work is either structured or entirely open, depending on what the client needs. Emma checks in regularly to ensure therapy is meeting goals, whether those are long-term aims or immediate session-level needs. They also ask that prospective clients message before scheduling any live sessions to confirm suitability and availability.

Person-centred Approaches and Online Therapy

Emma practices client-centred therapy, which centers the client as the expert on their own experience. This approach emphasizes empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and a non-directive stance so clients can explore feelings, beliefs, and choices at their own pace; it is often used for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Emma's training also includes person-centred experiential methods, blending psychological theory with more arts-based and experiential elements to help clients engage with present-moment experience and emotional processing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Emma collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, checking in regularly and adjusting the pace or structure of sessions as required. This collaborative process aims to help clients feel empowered and involved in how therapy unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or elsewhere, accommodate busy lives, and support ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location within the therapist's service area.
