Emily Pemberton, BACP

Emily Pemberton is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of clinical experience who draws on a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred Therapy to guide her work. She has also spent two years studying Ecological Transactional Analysis and completed a brief course in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), combining these perspectives to offer attentive and respectful support.

Emily works with people coping with stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, anger management and motivation, self-esteem and confidence, relationship difficulties, trauma, and other life changes. Her approach emphasizes empathy, careful listening, and gentle, considered reflections that allow exploration at a pace set by the individual. She prioritises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for growth and change and seeks to create a space where clients can gradually unfold their experience and find relief.

Clients can expect a practitioner who pays close attention to detail, responds with warmth and clarity, and aims to help them reconnect with what matters to them. Emily endeavors to support people as they work toward living life in the way they want to, offering steady, practical guidance along the way.

Supporting Change with Client-Centred and DBT-Informed Online Care

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for insight. This approach creates a space for people to explore self-esteem, relationship patterns, parenting concerns, and responses to life changes while moving at a pace that feels right for them.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and navigating difficult interpersonal situations. DBT-informed work can support people who struggle with strong reactions such as anger or overwhelming anxiety by teaching concrete strategies to cope and communicate more effectively.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Emily will work collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider which elements of client-centred work or DBT skills are most helpful and adjust the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when attending in person is difficult. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists and clients to work together in ways that suit different comfort levels and practical constraints.
