About Emily
Emily Foord is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make changes that matter. She creates a calm space for parents to talk about stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship worries. Emily draws on six years of practical work to guide conversations that feel manageable and clear.
Emily focuses on what is happening now and on small steps that change daily life. She listens for patterns that keep causing pain, such as codependency, attachment struggles or repetitive behaviours.
Background and approach
Then she works with each person to try different ways of responding and to build new habits that feel realistic. Her background includes a BSc in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Those studies support the practical exercises and reflective work she offers.
Emily has experience in residential addiction and mental health settings, running both group and one-to-one sessions. She has also provided charitable counselling, which helped her develop a direct and compassionate style. That mix gives her a clear sense of what helps people change.
People can expect straightforward conversations and practical tools for coping with panic, compulsions, grief, parenting strain and career stress. Sessions focus on what a person needs now and on building steady progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emily uses evidence-based techniques that focus on present patterns and practical change. One approach she draws on looks at behaviour and routine to reduce compulsions and process addictions by breaking unhelpful cycles and building alternative actions that fit into daily life. Another approach emphasises emotional regulation and openness, helping people understand attachment and abandonment wounds and practise new ways of responding to relationships and intimacy issues.Finding the right method is part of the work. Emily collaborates with each person to decide which approach feels most useful for their goals. She adapts strategies over time, checking in about what helps and what needs to change so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online therapy offers a range of practical options. Video calls suit deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, written reflections, or when someone prefers not to use video. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work and everyday life while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
