About Emily
Emily Foord is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and parenting strain. Emily also supports those coping with depression, low self-esteem, anger and challenges around intimacy and family issues.
Emily draws on a background in psychology and integrative counselling to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She talks things through plainly, helping clients name what is happening and try different ways of responding. Sessions include discussion of past relationships and family of origin, and practical ideas for setting boundaries and tackling people-pleasing or codependent behaviours.
Her experience includes work in residential addiction and mental health treatment where she ran group and individual sessions and delivered psycho-educational work. She has also provided charitable counselling. This practical background shapes her focus on breaking behavioural and emotional patterns rather than offering quick fixes.
Emily uses straightforward techniques alongside reflective conversation. She has studied approaches such as radically open dialectical behaviour work and motivational interviewing, and draws on knowledge from nutrition and psychology where helpful. She supports clients to move at their own pace while exploring what changes feel realistic and useful.
People who feel overwhelmed by other people’s needs or who struggle to say no will find a counsellor who focuses on patterns, communication problems and coping strategies. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Emily draws on integrative counselling that blends reflective conversation with specific evidence-based techniques. For example, motivational interviewing focuses on helping people weigh up change and their own reasons for it; it is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about giving up a habit or changing a pattern. Radically open dialectical behaviour work explores emotional overcontrol and can help people who struggle with rigid rules, high self-criticism or difficulties expressing feelings.Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Emily works with clients to identify what feels most relevant, tests different techniques in session, and adjusts the focus as needs and goals change. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client finds workable.
The practical benefits of working online often include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange shorter check-ins or longer conversations without needing to leave work or home. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer ways of working that suit day-to-day life while keeping therapeutic goals central.
