About Emma

Emma Manthy is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, grief, bipolar and depression, and people exploring LGBT issues. Emma offers coaching-style support alongside therapy to help people make practical changes.

Emma has practised in the United Kingdom for nine years and holds BACP registration, which she uses to inform her day-to-day work. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. She focuses on clear, practical steps as well as longer-term understanding of patterns and triggers.

Her way of working is warm and direct. She listens first, then helps people notice what gets in the way and try new strategies. Conversations can include thinking exercises, mindfulness practice, and skills for managing intense emotions.

Emma also runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the general public, drawing on her background in health and wellbeing coaching. That experience feeds into session plans and short-term tools people can use between meetings.

People who choose Emma often want practical skills alongside emotional support. She aims to tailor each session so it fits the person’s life and goals. To begin, visitors follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on identifying values to guide meaningful action. It can help with stress, anxiety, and low mood by shifting the focus from symptom control to living in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness; it pairs well with other approaches when stress or emotion regulation is a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean trying a short CBT exercise one week and a mindfulness practice the next, then deciding together what feels most helpful.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during busy weeks. It also lets people use written exercises and guided practices between meetings to practise new skills in everyday situations.
