About Emma
Emma Dalgleish is a BACP-registered counsellor with 22 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked across a wide range of settings and helps people with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and loss. Emma meets people with respect and sensitivity and adapts her way of working to each person.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. She listens carefully and offers an empathic, honest, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause pain and finding ways to make small, usable changes. Emma uses ideas from Jungian therapy and attachment-based work to look at personal meaning and relational patterns. She also draws on client-centred and existential ideas to support self-understanding and choice.
When relevant she offers practical tools from relationship-focused methods to help with communication and intimacy. She is experienced supporting people with anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and challenges around self-esteem, sleep and eating. Emma also helps people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, addictions and the impacts of chronic illness or caregiving.
Emma offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and the cost varies with region and therapist availability. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's timetable.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jungian therapy looks at the stories and symbols that shape a person's life and sense of self. Online sessions can use this work to explore recurring life themes, dreams or meaningful patterns and how they affect relationships and wellbeing.Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early bonds influence current relationships. In remote sessions this approach helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance and practise new ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your history, goals and worries and suggest approaches that suit your needs and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the plan as you learn what fits.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see one another for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, written reflection and for people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and consistency.
