Emma Fleming, BACP

Emma Fleming uses a person-centred and practical approach to help people make small, meaningful changes. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help clients notice what matters and act on it. Emma is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom, and she offers sessions in English.

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with relationship problems, family conflict, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Other areas she addresses include addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Emma works to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change, practical steps they can try between meetings, and simple techniques to manage difficult moments. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations.

Her work also pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships affect current ones. Solution-focused conversations help identify strengths and quick steps that can reduce distress. She is comfortable discussing complex topics such as adoption and foster care, chronic illness, neurodiversity and codependency.

Sessions can fit everyday life and goals. Emma aims to be straightforward and compassionate, helping people set realistic, achievable targets. Getting help can make a difference one step at a time.

How Emma's approaches work online

Emma uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to take small steps toward those values. ACT often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal priorities, which can help with anxiety, depression and motivation issues.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand their reactions in close relationships and build different ways of connecting and coping with relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that feel right for each person. Together they will adjust techniques and pace so the work fits the client's needs and day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, family and travel, making regular contact easier to maintain.
