About Emma
Emma Pereira is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 17 years of professional experience in Canada and the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem and depression, and she also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Her style treats therapy as a partnership. She asks clients what they want to achieve and helps them set practical steps towards those goals. Sessions are conversational and focused on building skills to manage everyday problems rather than on quick fixes.
Emma draws on several approaches to suit different needs. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness-based practices are offered to help with attention and calming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and take committed action despite difficult feelings.
She also uses client-centred methods and motivational interviewing to support people who want to find direction or increase motivation. These approaches combine to address issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress and relationship-related concerns like intimacy and attachment issues.
Emma notes practical matters like sleep, seasonal mood shifts and addiction-related challenges in her work. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
How Emma uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Emma commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred methods in her work. ACT involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most, then taking small, committed steps toward those values. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and practising alternative responses to reduce symptoms over time. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens closely and follows what the person brings, helping them find their own solutions and build motivation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Emma works collaboratively to work out which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as those goals evolve. That collaboration helps shape session plans and homework between meetings.
