Emma Rigg

Emma Rigg is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and LGBT-related issues. Emma encourages clients to use their own strengths when making change and offers steady support through difficult moments.

She believes that taking the first step towards a fuller life takes courage. In sessions she treats each person as the expert in their own story and helps them make sense of what matters most to them. Conversations are paced to fit the client’s needs, with space to reflect and try new ways of responding to stress.

Emma draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to guide her work. That means she pays attention to how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour, and she follows the client’s lead to build trust and understanding. She uses clear, everyday language and practical discussion rather than jargon.

Her practice also covers a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and isolation and loneliness. Emma aims to help people manage emotions, notice patterns and take manageable steps toward change.

Sessions focus on what you want to work on right now, and Emma supports planning small, realistic goals. She aims for an approachable style so people feel listened to and understood while they explore their next steps.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people notice patterns in their close connections and try different ways of relating when old habits cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the room, offering a non-directive space where the client’s priorities guide each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma treats this as a shared process and will discuss options with each person. Together they will consider what feels most useful given the client’s goals, current struggles and preference for how sessions are run.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend from different locations. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the exact options available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often help clients plan sessions that fit daily life, for example by offering shorter check-ins or adapting pacing to suit quieter or busier days.
