About Emma Brotherton
Emma works with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, career difficulties, recent diagnosis, and the general sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. Her practice is rooted in person-centred principles, and she adopts a pluralistic approach, drawing on different therapeutic ideas to match each person’s needs. Psychoeducation is central to her work, particularly an interest in the neuroscience of stress and how the body holds experience.
In sessions she pays attention to patterns in stress responses and gently explores how trauma may show up emotionally or physically, always aiming to create an environment where clients feel genuinely heard and accepted. Emma believes people already hold strengths and wisdom; her role is to be alongside them as they explore what might help them move forward rather than to tell them what to do.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Emma uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the person’s own experience guides the work. This approach focuses on understanding and acceptance, which can help with self-esteem, life transitions, and feeling heard. Attachment-based therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and intimacy, offering a way to address attachment issues, family and relationship difficulties, and related emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as the work evolves. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to match what feels most helpful for an individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options increase accessibility for people who cannot travel or who prefer remote sessions, and they support continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
