About Emma
Emma Mccartney is a counsellor who uses hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies to help people manage stress and anxiety. She holds NCPS and has three years of professional experience working with people facing low mood and confidence issues. Emma communicates in plain language and keeps sessions focused on practical steps the client can take.
She listens for the strengths a person already has and builds on them. Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most to the client and what small changes would help.
Background and approach
Emma uses client-centred techniques so the person’s goals lead the work. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to make thoughts and habits easier to change. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with panic, rumination and emotional overwhelm.
Hypnotherapy may be offered as an additional way to support relaxation and motivation. Emma has supported people with relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, parenting stress and issues linked to identity such as LGBT matters. She also helps with anger, career decisions, feelings of emptiness and coping with life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and encouraging. New clients are guided through a brief intake and the next steps. Emma accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and works in English.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and talking therapies work online
Emma integrates hypnotherapy with client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to offer a range of ways to work on problems. Hypnotherapy is presented as a relaxation-based method that can help with motivation, panic and stress by guiding a person into a calm, focused state. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so the person leads the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and builds simple, practical steps to change them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Emma will discuss options and try methods that suit the client's goals, preferences and how they respond. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls work well for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, while chat and messaging can fit into busy days or allow paced written reflection. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
