Emma Rigg, BACP

Emma Rigg welcomes people facing difficult midlife transitions, anxiety, or low mood. She presents a calm, respectful approach and helps clients work out what matters most to them. Emma writes that taking the first step takes courage, and she aims to offer steady support through that start.

Emma understands stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps people manage life changes such as separation, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. Her background includes six years working with these kinds of issues in the United Kingdom.

Emma uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in sessions. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, and she focuses on the person’s experience in the moment. Sessions typically centre on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and trying out small changes together.

Emma holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on practical conversation rather than technical jargon, so people can speak plainly about what’s worrying them. If you want help sorting priorities or coping better day to day, she supports people through those steps.

To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session according to the therapist’s schedule. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Emma's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence how people relate now. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create space for the client to lead the conversation and make sense of their feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emma will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief catch-up is needed. It also means people can continue regular sessions while balancing work, caregiving, or health limitations. Registered or accredited professionals can offer this flexibility while helping clients focus on practical coping, relationship patterns, and day-to-day changes.
