Emma Fleming, BACP

Emma Fleming is a counsellor who uses a person-focused style to help people through difficult midlife moments and other life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. Emma creates a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief and relationship worries. She encourages practical first steps and honest conversation in sessions.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters to them. Emma also uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to understand how past relationships shape present difficulties. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term practical goals and clearer next steps.

She has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, discrimination, loss and ongoing health challenges. Emma also works with concerns such as parenting strain, career uncertainty, addictions, compassion fatigue and issues connected to identity and intimacy. Clients who have ADHD, attachment issues, or neurodiversity related concerns are within her stated focus areas.

Sessions aim to help people build clarity, calm and manageable routines. Emma takes a supportive, non-judgemental stance and helps clients set realistic goals. She invites people to bring what matters most into the room and to try small changes between sessions.

Based in the United Kingdom, Emma offers work in English and is listed as available to international clients. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on the values and actions that matter most to them. It can be useful for anxiety, midlife reassessment and coping with big life transitions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple paying-attention skills to reduce reactivity and build steadier routines. This approach supports stress, sleeping problems and ongoing worry by encouraging brief practices and moment-to-moment noticing.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It can help clarify patterns in relationships and support people who struggle with intimacy or abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to change and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. Different session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work also allows brief check-ins or focused goal-setting when that suits someone’s schedule.
