Emma Rigg

Emma Rigg greets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. She works with individuals facing LGBT-related concerns and those coping with trauma, loss or separation. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping someone take small, manageable steps forward.

Emma sees clients as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what she hears. This helps identify patterns that get in the way and strengths that can be used to move on.

Her background includes six years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Emma draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current reactions and connections. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk freely.

In sessions she tends to keep things practical. Conversations can include noticing repeated patterns, trying new ways of relating, and finding clearer ways to communicate. Emma helps people prepare for big changes, such as separation, and cope with feelings that come up during those times.

People who choose her often want a steady, listening presence and practical ideas to try between meetings. If you want a conversational, empathetic counsellor who helps you find your own solutions, Emma may be a good match.

How Emma uses attachment and client-centred work online

Emma draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and ways of relating. This approach helps when anxiety, trust or repeated patterns make change hard. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping you make your own choices about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She looks for what feels useful and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people check in from a familiar setting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or telephone options when video is difficult. Discuss practical arrangements with Emma so sessions match daily life and personal needs.
