Emma Rigg, BACP

Emma Rigg is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and LGBT-related concerns. She speaks English and draws on six years of professional experience to support people taking the first steps toward change. Emma frames clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to build on the strengths they already have.

She works in a calm, respectful way that focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the individual. Emma emphasises listening and helping people notice patterns in relationships and feelings that keep problems repeating.

Emma uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions today. She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s perspective at the centre of each session. Together these approaches are used to address issues such as trauma, coping with life changes, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Her background includes supporting people with caregiving stress, chronic illness or disability, communication difficulties and the emotional aftermath of separation. She also works with concerns around gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, and problems linked to abandonment and attachment.

People who choose Emma can expect practical conversation, space to make sense of difficult feelings, and gentle encouragement to try different ways of coping. Before booking, check the session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit with your needs.

How Emma’s approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It can help people who notice repeated patterns in relationships, attachment worries, or fears around abandonment.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judging and helps people find their own answers to problems like anxiety, low mood and isolation.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Emma will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together they decide which approach fits best. That collaborative conversation may adjust how sessions are structured over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions around work or caring duties, avoiding travel time and allowing quicker check-ins when life gets busy. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they suit your routine and needs.
