About Emma
Emma Farrimond is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger and life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, bereavement, domestic violence histories, and problems with sleep or chronic illness.
Emma began in the private sector providing time-limited EAP counselling and moved into the third sector, offering support for bereavement and domestic violence. She set up and ran a SureStart counselling service for parents and carers of young children and has operated a private practice since 2014. Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy with Philosophy and postgraduate diplomas in Professional Counselling and Applied Criminal Justice and Criminology.
Her approach is straightforward. She uses client-centred listening alongside practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. Sessions aim to identify what is triggering anger or stress and to try manageable ways of responding differently. Conversations are guided by what the client wants to change and by small, achievable steps.
Emma can help with emotional aftermaths such as guilt, shame, grief and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people managing chronic pain, codependency, communication problems, and the practical pressures of work or parenting. The work tends to be direct and focused, with an emphasis on building clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emma uses client-centred therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on the client’s experience and aims to make sense of feelings such as anger, shame or grief in simple terms.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for practical pattern spotting and small behaviour changes. CBT helps identify thoughts that feed anger and teaches alternative responses that can be practised between sessions. Solution-focused work complements this by setting short-term goals and testing small experiments to see what helps in everyday life.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Emma will work with the client to decide which approaches feel most useful based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. She aims to keep sessions focused and to agree clear next steps together.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or mobility challenges. It can also allow brief check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without being on camera if that helps with concentration.
