About Emily
Emily Pemberton is a counsellor who aims to make therapy clear and manageable for parents. She writes and listens with care, keeping sessions paced to what each person needs. Her manner is calm and attentive so parents can talk through practical worries and emotional strain without pressure.
She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. That means reflections, careful listening, and helping people find their own solutions.
Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas to teach skills for managing strong emotions and stress. Emily has worked in the field for five years and holds BACP accreditation. Her background includes a postgraduate diploma in Person-Centred Therapy and additional study in related approaches.
She brings that training into straightforward, skills-focused conversations rather than technical jargon. Sessions often focus on everyday challenges parents face - managing anger, coping with anxiety, building self-esteem, and handling big life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, ADHD, and long-term illness or pain.
Emily offers a steady, non-judgemental presence and aims to help people make small, practical changes that add up. She works alongside each person to try different tools, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Approaches Emily lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Approaches and online therapy options
Emily uses person-centred work to keep each conversation focused on the person's own experience. This approach centres on listening, gentle reflection and helping people find their own solutions, which can help with parenting stress, low mood and relationship concerns.She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas to teach practical skills. DBT-based techniques help people manage strong emotions, reduce impulsive reactions and build coping strategies for anxiety and anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to weigh needs, goals and preferences, and then try methods that suit them. That plan can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a short break, and texting or chat can suit quick check-ins or lower-bandwidth needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and to keep continuity when schedules change.
