About Emily
Emily Hodson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years dedicated counselling experience. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, life purpose questions, and postpartum depression.
Emily uses a person-centred way of working. She listens and follows what matters to the person in front of her. She blends mindfulness and creative activities into sessions when these are helpful to the client.
Her recent work has included creative recovery projects in the community and nine months as a school counsellor. Those roles shaped a flexible approach that adapts to what comes up in the room. Emily draws on practical exercises and creative tools to help people talk through difficult feelings and make small changes that feel manageable.
Sessions focus on immediate concerns and longer-running patterns alike. Typical work may include talking through difficult memories, practising grounding or mindful exercises, and trying creative ways to express feelings when words are hard to find. She aims to help clients clarify what matters to them and notice options they might not have seen before.
People often choose to work with Emily when they feel stuck after a life change, unsure about their purpose, or overwhelmed by grief or past harm. To start, prospective clients use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see how the approach fits.
Therapeutic approaches and online practice
Emily draws on person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening carefully and following the client's priorities. This approach is about the counsellor offering presence and reflection so the client can find their own direction, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief and questions about life purpose.She also uses mindfulness techniques that teach simple ways to notice and regulate difficult thoughts or strong emotions. These practices can help with anxiety, depression and coping after trauma by offering short exercises to steady attention and reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods feel useful, adjust them over time, and check in about what is working and what is not.

Online sessions also allow using audio-only check-ins or shorter appointments when that better suits someone's day.
