About Emily Foord

Emily Foord is a BACP-registered counsellor (MBACP) based in the United Kingdom with 6 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering steady, non-judgemental support while helping clients explore what they are feeling, what they need, and what meaningful change might look like for them. Rather than directing or prescribing, she works alongside each person to help them find their own way forward, at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

Emily believes that having someone reflect emotional experiences with care and clarity can strengthen self-compassion and resilience. Her aim is to provide space to pause, make sense of patterns, and reconnect with a more authentic and fulfilling way of living, especially during times of stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, or major life transitions.

Her background includes a BSc in Psychology, with specialist study in addictive behaviours, neuro-developmental disorders, psychopathology, and behavioural genetics, as well as a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Emily has worked in residential addiction and mental health treatment delivering group and individual therapy and psycho-educational sessions, and has also provided counselling within the charitable sector. She has undertaken further training in radically open dialectical behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, and nutrition, bringing a broad, evidence-based perspective to the work of changing emotional and behavioural patterns without having to do it alone.

Evidence-Based Support That Fits Online Life

Emily Foord draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients understand what is driving repeated emotional and behavioural patterns, especially around stress, anxiety, mood, relationships, and addictive behaviours. With an integrative counselling foundation, she can bring together different tools and perspectives so sessions stay focused on what is most useful for the individual, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.

Her training in motivational interviewing can be helpful when someone feels stuck, conflicted, or unsure about change. It focuses on strengthening personal motivation and clarifying values, which can support next steps that feel realistic and self-directed. Emily has also trained in radically open dialectical behavioural therapy, an approach that can support greater emotional flexibility and openness, particularly when patterns of overcontrol, isolation, or rigid coping get in the way of connection and wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the pace and focus over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to access consistent support wherever a client is based. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with the added flexibility of live chat or text-based messaging when that format feels more manageable for busy schedules or day-to-day check-ins.
