About Emma
Emma Poxon offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them.

Sessions focus on the client's experience and what they want to work on right now.
Emma uses a person-centred approach, also called Client-Centred Therapy. This means sessions are led by the client's priorities rather than by the therapist setting the agenda.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's pace. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what is said, helps the person explore their feelings, and supports them in finding their own solutions. This approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship-related concerns.Emma also uses person-centred experiential elements which encourage people to get in touch with emotions and bodily felt experience. Sessions can include gentle prompts to notice sensations or feelings, and then discuss what arises. These methods can be useful for trauma-related material, coping with life changes and managing difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will check in with clients about how the sessions feel and will adapt the way she works to match goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist agree on structure, pace and focus.
Online therapy here offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
