Emma MarshBACP

Emma Marsh is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting pressures. She works with clients on anger, motivation, coping with life changes and difficult emotions. Emma uses a calm, non-judgemental approach to make it easier to talk about what matters most.

She creates time to listen and to understand each person’s story. Sessions focus on practical steps - noticing patterns, trying small changes, and building useful routines. Emma draws on client-centred work to put the person’s needs at the centre of the process.

Emma also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy strategies that teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These methods are used alongside attachment-informed thinking to help people understand close relationships and recurring patterns.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She aims to help clients build confidence, manage stress, and find clearer ways to communicate. The work is practical and paced to what each person can manage.

Emma has eleven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. If someone wants to explore next steps they can follow the site process to match with her and schedule a first appointment.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and why certain situations feel triggering. Client-Centred Therapy means the person’s experience leads the conversation, with the counsellor offering listening, reflection and empathy to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour.

Finding the right approach is usually part of the early work. Emma will discuss what matters most, try suitable techniques, and together with the client decide which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the person’s goals and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session options before booking so you know how appointments will be run. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during busy days and offer choices when audio-only or less bandwidth is needed. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep therapy consistent alongside family or work commitments.
