Emma Harvey, BACP

Emma Harvey is a BACP-registered psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience supporting young people and adults who are facing a range of mental health challenges. She works with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem, self-harming behaviours and suicidal thoughts, as well as relationship and family issues and questions around gender and sexuality. Emma combines a practical, goal-focused style with an empathic, client-centered stance to help clients clarify their priorities and identify manageable steps toward change.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to examine the links between thoughts, emotions and actions, alongside solution-focused and person-centered methods that emphasise clients strengths and collaborative problem solving. Emma aims to create a calm, non-judgmental environment where people can explore difficult feelings and build coping skills. She works together with each person to set realistic goals and to track progress toward greater wellbeing.

Emma is available for sessions on Tuesdays from 9:30am to 3:00pm, and she may respond to messages outside those hours; clients should allow up to 48 working hours for a reply. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - she follows recognised professional standards for practice.

Online therapeutic approaches and remote care

Emma integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and person-centered techniques to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress. Person-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and the client’s own resources to foster self-awareness and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Emma works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful, tailoring techniques to match the client’s goals, preferences and life circumstances so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy or complex schedules. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or while travelling, choose the format that feels most comfortable, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person sessions are not possible.
