Emma Poxon , NCPS

Emma Poxon creates a warm, welcoming space where people can bring whatever is on their mind, even when those topics feel difficult to speak about. They practise from a person-centred perspective, showing authenticity and a non-judgemental presence so clients can explore past, present, or future concerns at their own pace. Their aim is to be a supportive ally, helping clients form a trusting bond and discover what works best for them.

Emma believes the person-centred approach empowers people to be the experts of their own experience. They hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an undergraduate degree in psychology, and an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, a master’s level qualification focused on person-centred methods. Emma also holds the NCPS credential. In sessions they offer unconditional positive regard, empathy, and a non-directive stance so conversations can follow what matters most to the client rather than a predetermined agenda.

Therapy with Emma can be organised with or without formal structure - some clients prefer clear goals while others favour a more open-ended process - and they regularly check in to ensure therapy meets evolving needs. They work collaboratively to adjust the pace and focus of sessions, whether addressing long-term aims or immediate, session-by-session concerns. Emma asks that people message them before scheduling any live sessions.

Person-Centred Approaches and Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, with the therapist offering empathy, genuine presence, and acceptance while allowing the client to lead the conversation. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem by encouraging self-discovery and personal insight.

Person-centred experiential work builds on this by inviting clients to explore feelings and bodily experience in the moment, supporting deeper processing of emotions and patterns that affect daily life. It is often helpful for people navigating grief, coping with life changes, or working through complex emotional responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Emma will work with clients to identify which methods feel most useful, checking in regularly and adapting session structure, pace, and focus to align with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - can make these person-centred approaches more accessible and flexible. These formats allow people to connect from home, fit therapy around busy schedules, and continue work even when in-person meetings are difficult, while still benefiting from the attuned, empathetic support provided by licensed professionals and therapists.
