Emma Bourquin, BACP

Emma Bourquin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, anger and related concerns. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through what is happening and find practical ways to cope.

Emma draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address everyday struggles. She focuses on clear, goal-oriented conversations and helps clients break problems into manageable steps. That can mean looking at how thoughts and behaviour contribute to anger, practising ways to slow escalation, and building more helpful responses in stressful moments.

Her work also covers issues around identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns and the strain that caregiving or career changes can create. She supports people dealing with sleep disruption, postpartum depression, ADHD and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. Emma pays attention to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns that keep problems recurring.

Emma adapts the pace and focus of sessions to what each person needs. She often combines practical exercises with reflective conversation. This approach is intended to give people tools they can use between sessions as well as topics to work on in therapy.

For people worried about temper or recurring anger, she offers straightforward strategies to reduce snap reactions and build more control. She encourages small, steady changes and practical experiments that fit into daily life.
