Emma Poxon, NCPS

Emma Poxon is a non-binary person-centred therapist practising in the United Kingdom who offers a warm, accepting space for people to bring whatever is on their mind, however difficult it may feel. They aim to be authentic and congruent in session, providing non-judgemental support so clients can explore issues from the past, present, or future and develop practical strategies that fit their life and values.

Emma combines academic and clinical training to inform their practice. They hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an undergraduate degree in psychology, and an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, a master’s degree focused on person-centred experiential methods. They also hold the credential NCPS. This background supports a therapeutic stance that prioritises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a non-directive approach that empowers clients to be experts in their own experience.

Work with Emma typically emphasises collaboration and regular check-ins to ensure therapy meets the client’s needs, whether the focus is long-term goals or session-by-session concerns. Sessions can be structured or open-ended according to what suits the client best. Emma supports people with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, ADHD, addictions, family and relationship challenges, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Clients are asked to message Emma before scheduling any live sessions. Emma welcomes those beginning their therapy journey and aims to offer steady, empowering support throughout the process.

Person-Centred Approaches and Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-directive relationship where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. It aims to support self-discovery and personal agency by offering empathy, genuine presence, and acceptance, which can be helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.

Person-Centred Experiential work, which draws on Emma's MA training, encourages clients to connect with feelings and bodily experience in the moment. This approach can assist people coping with trauma, grief, chronic stress, or identity questions by fostering deeper awareness and emotional processing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and will be handled collaboratively. Emma will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the level of structure and techniques to suit each client's needs and pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists even when in-person meetings are not possible, while preserving the collaborative, person-centred focus of the work.
