About Emily
Emily Foord works from an integrative counselling approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties while supporting wider work and wellbeing goals. Emily uses straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving to help people make changes that feel sustainable in everyday life.
Emily brings six years of clinical experience in mental health and addictions work. She has a BSc in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her background includes residential addiction and mental health treatment where she led group and individual work, and time in a charity counselling setting.
In sessions she focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and building practical coping strategies. Emily often supports people through grief, career stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and the emotional effects of family conflict. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues and obsessive or compulsive behaviours.
Emily pays attention to how attachment and early family experiences shape current relationships and behaviours. She offers a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can reflect and develop more self-compassion. Her style mixes reflective listening with skills practice so change happens both in the room and at home.
For those seeking help around work and wellbeing, Emily aims to connect day-to-day pressures with longer-term values and goals. She invites clients to move at a pace that suits them while focusing on clear, practical steps to improve how they cope and relate.
How Emily adapts evidence-based methods for online work
Emily draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people make changes that matter. For example, she uses approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with manageable skills for everyday life; these methods suit worries such as anxiety, panic and obsessive behaviours. She also uses motivational interviewing style techniques to help people facing addictions or ambivalence about change by exploring values and building personal motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emily will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. That collaborative exploration helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to keep continuity during life changes. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for sessions without needing to travel. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
