Emma Manthy, BACP

Emma Manthy is a counsellor with nine years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works with clients on relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, grief and long-term health challenges. She also helps people with ADHD, bipolar conditions and issues linked to neurodiversity, and offers coaching-style support alongside therapy.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and preferences. She uses conversation, reflective exercises and skills practice to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.

Emma draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred techniques. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness work when these fit a person’s goals. Treatment choices are explained plainly and adapted as progress is made.

She has worked as a health and wellbeing coach for eight years and runs psychoeducational workshops for organisations and the public. That experience shapes how she shares practical tools in short, usable steps rather than only talking about problems.

Emma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often involves practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and practising different ways of thinking and acting to shift mood and reactions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, listening stance where the counsellor reflects and supports people to find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Emma will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as the person learns what helps and what does not.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and let people join from different places in the UK. Many people find it simpler to practise skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into therapy when meeting remotely.
