About Emily

Emily Hodson is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing work and wellbeing challenges, grief, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She focuses on creating space to be heard and understood, so people can think clearly about next steps. Sessions are practical and calm, with time to reflect and try different ways of coping.

She holds a BACP credential, and has spent recent years concentrating on counselling work. Emily blends person-centred talking with mindfulness and creative activities to suit each person. That means sessions might include guided breathing, creative tasks, or simply reflective conversation depending on what is helpful.

Emily has worked in community creative recovery projects and in schools, which shaped a flexible, practical style. For the last three years she has been dedicated to counselling work and has nine months experience as a school counsellor. That mix informs how she adapts to different needs and settings.

She supports people with parenting strains, postnatal concerns, relationship and attachment worries, and the fallout from abuse or loss. Emily also works with issues such as isolation, mood and personality concerns, and neurodiverse needs including autism and Asperger syndrome.

People who choose her can expect a gentle, collaborative pace. Emily will listen, reflect, and offer simple exercises to try between sessions. She asks clients to work together to find what helps most so progress is practical and sustainable.

How her approaches translate to online support

Emily uses person-centred counselling and draws on mindfulness and creative methods. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them clarify feelings and choices. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Creative approaches can include drawing, journalling or guided imagery to help express things that are hard to say aloud.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit their needs. That collaborative process means techniques may change over time as progress and comfort levels emerge.

Many people find online therapy makes fitting sessions into work and family life easier. It can reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in during a busy day. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will fit your routine. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that mirror in-person work, and Emily aims to adapt her person-centred and creative methods so they work well in the format you choose.
