About Emma
Emma Manthy is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, anger, grief, bipolar and depression, and people exploring issues around neurodiversity and codependency. Emma blends practical tools with a calm, respectful style so clients can take steady steps towards change.
She has worked in the UK for nine years and also practises as a health and wellbeing coach. That experience shapes how she combines short-term goal work with slower, reflective sessions. Emma also designs and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public.
In sessions she adapts her approach to what each person needs. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside mindfulness and a client-centred way of listening. This mix helps people manage thoughts, learn new skills and explore values.
Her style is practical and grounded. People can expect clear, plain explanations and exercises they can try between sessions. Emma aims to make sessions collaborative so people feel involved in planning the work.
Emma’s practice supports people with a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, eating difficulties, dissociation, domestic violence and communication problems. She welcomes conversations about how therapy could fit into someone’s life.
Therapeutic approaches to use in online work
Emma draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change them. CBT tends to be useful for anxiety, low mood and specific behaviour changes.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps towards them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT can help with long-term worries and feeling stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emma works collaboratively to decide what methods suit each person's goals and preferences. That might mean combining skills from different approaches and adjusting the pace as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online or remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and reduce travel time. Others prefer a longer, less frequent appointment to make deeper progress. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
