Emma Donnelly , BACP

Emma Donnelly is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience working with adults, children, and young people. She is currently working towards an MSc in Psychology, and she combines that ongoing academic training with practical experience supporting clients through relationship and family challenges, grief and loss, parenting difficulties, and concentration and memory concerns.

Her practice also addresses attachment-related issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, separation and divorce, addiction concerns, life purpose and midlife transitions, multicultural and discrimination-related worries, panic attacks, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and other complex challenges. Emma draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build practical skills and clearer understanding of the patterns that affect their daily lives.

Emma frames clients as experts in their own stories and seeks to help them identify and use their strengths to meet difficult moments. She acknowledges that beginning therapy requires courage and aims to create a supportive, respectful space where clients can take those first steps toward change and increased wellbeing.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy for families and individuals

Emma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding. One approach she uses involves exploring thoughts and behaviour patterns to identify unhelpful cycles and develop new coping strategies - this can be helpful for anxiety, panic symptoms, focus difficulties, and mood concerns. Another commonly used focus is relational and attachment-informed work, which examines early and current relationship patterns to support healing in partnerships, blended families, and caregiving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Emma works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She helps clients try different strategies and adapts the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy with Emma is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage that fit busy schedules and varied circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and arrange sessions at times that suit the client's life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in evidence-based practice.
