About Emily
Emily Chalder is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings six years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Emily offers a calm, respectful space where practical steps are discussed alongside emotional support.
She uses a client-centred approach, which means she follows each person's pace and priorities. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, whether that's managing worry, coping with grief, or rebuilding confidence after a tough period.
Background and approach
Emily adapts conversations and techniques to suit the person's situation rather than using a fixed formula. People often come with problems linked to work, sleep, parenting strains or relationship tensions. Emily also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, and issues around self-image and sexuality.
She can discuss concerns related to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and the impact these have on daily life. Her style is practical and warm. She aims to help people spot small changes that make life easier and to build skills for handling setbacks.
Sessions may include talking through reactions, trying new ways to cope, and setting simple goals. If someone prefers to work remotely, Emily offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire so she can match her approach to their needs and agree how to move forward.

Approaches Emily lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Client-centred care and online options
Emily practises client-centred therapy, which means the session follows the person rather than a fixed plan. The focus is on listening, reflecting back what matters and helping clients find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want to be understood and to build realistic coping strategies for anxiety, low mood, parenting stress and similar concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Emily will discuss goals and try different ways of working until something fits. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which steps feel most helpful and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written communication or want more frequent, brief contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the same person-centred focus.
