Emily Hodson, BACP

Emily Hodson brings a long-standing commitment to mental health work and, for the last three years, has focused specifically on counselling. She is a qualified person-centred counsellor who blends a calm, non-judgmental stance with practical skills to help people navigate trauma, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Emily holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy professional designation widely recognised in the United Kingdom - which reflects her training and professional standards.

With a strong interest in mindfulness and creative methods, Emily offers a range of interventions that can be tailored to individual needs in the moment. Her recent role in creative recovery within the community shaped a flexible, adaptive style that she has also applied during nine months as a school counsellor. This experience working with both adults and children has broadened her ability to explore issues through alternative, imaginative ways alongside more traditional talking therapies.

Emily works with clients facing a wide spectrum of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, domestic violence, mood and personality disorders, and perinatal mood difficulties. Based in the United Kingdom, she provides therapy in English and is open to working with international clients, offering options that suit different lifestyles and schedules.

Person-centred, Mindfulness and Creative Techniques for Online Support

Emily commonly uses a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients explore their own thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach supports work on relationships, self-esteem, attachment concerns, and recovery from trauma.

She also integrates mindfulness-informed techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress, low mood, and overwhelming emotions. Alongside these, creative interventions drawn from her work in community recovery offer alternative ways to express and process difficult experiences when words alone feel limiting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps shape a personalised plan for therapy.

Online therapy with Emily is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
