Kate Emery, BACP

Kate Emery uses a client-centred approach to help people find their own answers. She emphasises listening first and follows each person’s lead. This simple focus helps people feel heard and begin to make changes that matter to them.

She has five years of professional experience working with stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self esteem, addiction, and depression. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and small changes that fit into everyday life.

Kate believes people know their own story and brings steady, non-judgemental attention to conversations. She works to create a space where someone can try out new ways of coping. That might mean talking through difficult memories or practising different responses to stress.

Her background includes work with people dealing with parenting pressures, career strain, compassion fatigue, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and challenges connected to illness or bereavement.

People meet by phone, video call, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions follow the pace chosen by the person seeking help. The aim is practical support that suits daily life and personal goals.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process. The therapist listens deeply and reflects what is said so someone can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. This approach helps with anxiety, low self esteem, grief and relationship concerns where being heard matters more than advice.

Working online, the therapist will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative step. Together they will consider goals, preferences and how therapy is fitting into daily life, then adjust how sessions are run. This makes it easier to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when less bandwidth is available or for a short check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for steady, ongoing support without needing to be on camera. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
