Emily Callaghan, BACP

Emily Callaghan is a counsellor registered with the BACP who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and low mood. She supports those grappling with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and people trying to rebuild confidence and motivation. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at people who have already taken a hard first step by seeking help.

Emily keeps sessions practical and conversational. She creates an open space where clients can speak freely about thoughts and feelings. The focus is on finding what helps an individual day to day, such as clearer communication, managing anxious moments, or rebuilding self-worth.

Her background includes six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. That time has included work with people affected by loss, attachment concerns and issues around caregiver stress and chronic illness. Emily draws on this experience to notice patterns and invite small, manageable changes.

She pays attention to how past experiences can shape present reactions. Together with a client she looks at relationship dynamics, impulsive responses, and the habits that hold people back. Sessions often involve talking through situations, trying new ways of responding, and setting simple goals.

Emily welcomes people who are dealing with guilt, shame, life-stage questions and isolation. She also addresses practical problems such as communication breakdowns and the strain of divorce or separation. If you want a down-to-earth approach that focuses on what matters to you, Emily offers straightforward support and a steady, non-judgemental presence.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Evidence-based talking therapies focus on noticing behaviours and thoughts, and then practising alternatives. One approach involves looking at unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against everyday evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with worries, rumination and mood shifts. Another common approach looks at relational patterns - how attachment, past hurt or abandonment can shape reactions now - and uses discussion and small practical experiments to change how people relate to others.

Finding the best approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their situation, goals and preferences. This might mean trying different ways of working for a few sessions and adjusting as needed, rather than committing to a single method up front.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make regular check-ins simpler to organise. The original biography does not list session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Many people find online work helps keep momentum between sessions and makes it simpler to attend while juggling caring responsibilities or chronic health issues.
