Emma Manthy, BACP

Emma Manthy is a BACP counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, bipolar and depression, and ADHD. She also offers coaching-style support for those wanting practical steps forward.

Emma adapts sessions to each person’s needs. She uses everyday language and aims for clear, doable strategies rather than jargon. Sessions are offered with respect and compassion, and she seeks to help people feel more able to make the changes they want.

Her background combines counselling and health and wellbeing coaching. She has spent years delivering psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public, covering topics that help people manage stress, build resilience and improve communication.

Emma draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions, mixing practical skills with reflective space. She helps people notice patterns, try alternative responses, and set goals that fit their life. Progress often focuses on small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.

People who meet her can expect a calm, straightforward style. She prioritises collaboration and tailors session plans to what is most useful. If someone is unsure where to begin, she will help clarify priorities and make a simple plan to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emma commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can help with stress, anxiety and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace of change and feels heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what matters most to the person and decide on methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as needs become clearer.

The practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular contact and practise skills between meetings, while still receiving guidance and support from a registered professional.
