Emily Callaghan, BACP

Emily Callaghan is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Emily aims to make the first step easier and recognises that reaching out for help takes courage.

In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what feels hard. Conversations are practical and down to earth. She listens to current struggles and helps people identify small changes that can make life feel more manageable.

Emily also supports people working through issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of isolation or guilt. She will help sort through the immediate problem and look at patterns that keep it returning.

For those facing big transitions, including divorce, separation or a midlife crisis, she offers steady, clear support to find direction and meaning. She pays attention to how relationships and communication habits affect everyday life.

Emily works in plain, practical language and aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions. She encourages collaboration about goals and pace, so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online therapy

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps and exploring relationship patterns. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and then practise small, manageable changes to feel less overwhelmed. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Another typical strand centres on looking at attachment and relational dynamics to understand how past experiences shape current relationships; this can help with relationship problems, abandonment worries and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily will talk with each person about problems, goals and preferences, and together they will pick methods and pace that suit the person. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue therapy while travelling or living abroad. Registered and accredited professionals often find online work supports continuity and practical access to care.
