About Emily
Emily Hodson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years focused experience in counselling. She works with adults carrying feelings of guilt and shame, and with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, low self-esteem and depression.
She uses a person-centred stance, which means conversations are led by the client’s priorities and feelings. Mindfulness and creative activities are part of how she works, offering practical ways to notice thoughts and express difficult emotions. Recent community work has shaped a flexible style that adapts to what someone needs in the moment.
Emily has also spent time as a school counsellor. That role added experience of shorter-term work and different ways to explore issues, including creative recovery methods. She has supported people dealing with attachment and abandonment, domestic violence, postpartum depression and isolation or loneliness.
Sessions can include reflective talking, guided mindfulness exercises and creative tasks when useful. She describes these as tools to help people talk through guilt, process grief, and consider changes in parenting or self-image.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical sessions that aim to clarify worries and identify small steps to try outside the room. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching process and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Emily uses person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and following what the client brings to the session. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through feelings of guilt or shame and decide what matters most to them.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting pulled into them. Mindfulness can be useful for mood disorders, rumination and tension linked to past trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels helpful and try different ways of working so the method matches your goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and reviewed as you go.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If you need clear practical arrangements around timing, camera use or session length, these can be agreed at the first appointment.
