About Emma

Emma Manthy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She combines therapeutic work with health and wellbeing coaching and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. Emma lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger and self-esteem among her main concerns. She also notes work around LGBT issues, relationship difficulties, grief, bipolar and depression.

Emma uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness, among other approaches. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, learning small skills to manage difficult moments, and looking at patterns that keep upset going. Emma also offers coaching-style guidance when clients want help with goals or day-to-day structure.

Her background includes eight years of experience as a health and wellbeing coach and delivering workshops on mental health topics. That work informs how she explains techniques and how she structures sessions. Clients can expect clear explanations and exercises to try between meetings.

Emma lists additional focus areas such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems. She also notes experience with domestic violence, eating-related issues, dissociation and divorce and separation.

Sessions are offered in English and Emma does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Emma uses therapeutic approaches online

Emma often works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than getting pulled into avoidance. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small, practical changes to mood and behaviour.

She also uses Mindfulness techniques to build attention and calm, teaching short exercises that can be practised between sessions to manage intense feelings. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, stress, trauma-related distress and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will talk with each person about what they want and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That way the therapeutic plan is decided together rather than imposed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it easier to use tools learned in sessions during everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt practical exercises to an online setting and decide with the client which methods suit them best.
