At times, we can feel overwhelmed by the events and demands facing us. Life can feel daunting, and we can lose trust in ourselves to find a way forward.

Psychotherapy can help unravel the patterns we are caught in. Learning to pay attention to ourselves in a supportive space can help us to shift our perspective and find new directions. We can develop a compassionate relationship with ourselves that will help generate new energy to overcome our obstacles.

Struggling with binge eating? Caught in a cycle of “I’ll start again tomorrow”? Do you feel trapped, overwhelmed by thoughts of food and weight, yet unable to stop? Maybe you feel ashamed or disgusted, hiding evidence of binge episodes, hoping no one sees the real you. Perhaps you’ve tried every diet, only to find yourself back in the same cycle, questioning if things will ever change. Imagine a life where food doesn’t control you. With the right support, you can break the binge cycle and create a healthier relationship with food, yourself and your body.

Therapy can help us to manage our lives and our relationships better, it can lead to more fulfilling relationships and a renewed sense of aliveness. Learning how to manage symptoms such as overthinking, insomnia, anxiety, depression, lack of energy, or an enduring sense of helplessness and despair, can lead to renewed energy and a greater sense of freedom in our lives. In my sessions I often use teaching, in order to help make sense of and understand why you might be feeling the way you do and to help you learn ways to make changes in order to better manage those feelings.

Perinatal mental health is my specialism, but for over 15 years I've worked with anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and everything in between.
Ever feel like you're just about keeping it together — stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling in a way that's hard to put into words? You're not alone, and you don't have to keep managing it on your own.
I work with adults feeling anxious, low, or stuck — especially during big life changes like early parenthood or those seasons of life where everything shifts at once. A lot of the people I work with are trying to do things a bit differently — to understand themselves better, break cycles that have been passed down through generations, and find healthier ways of coping and relating.

I have a special interest in pregnancy, postnatal wellbeing (including birth trauma), supported by a dedicated supervision group, and work with adults at significant life crossroads.
You came here because thinking harder about your life isn't working. You understand your patterns. And yet, there's a gap between knowing and actually feeling different, and that's exactly what we can work through.
You may be navigating a major transition: the unique pressures of university, new parenthood, relationship difficulties, anxiety, or a quiet sense that something isn't adding up. Perhaps you're sitting with a grief about the state of the world that doesn't quite have a name. Whatever you bring, I work with all of it. Together we find a way through that goes beyond thinking into something that actually shifts.

It can seem like the hardest thing to do to access counselling, but it can be life changing if you take that first step. You may not be entirely clear on what you want but just have a feeling that things don't feel right and you have decided that you want to understand what, why and how to refocus and live the life you feel is best for you. Or perhaps you are very aware of a struggle with difficulties, which may already be formally diagnosed by another professional, and you want to regain some control instead of feeling that these issues take over. I can support people in achieving their goals wherever they are in their journey.

I am a neuroscientist and perinatal mental health therapist who helps mothers understand what is happening in their brains and lives during the transition to parenthood.
Becoming a parent changes everything, but not always in the ways people expect, and rarely in ways that are clearly explained. Many of my clients, who are used to functioning at a high level, are surprised by how disorienting and difficult this stage of life can feel. It has impacted your sleep, identity, stress levels, mental load, relationships, and added invisible demands and pressure.
Much of my work begins right there, in that gap between what you thought this experience would feel like and what is actually happening in your mind, your body, your relationships, and your sense of self.

Life is tough. We all experience loss and difficulties along the way but sometimes those things can feel unmanageable or overwhelming.

Hi, I'm Emma, an integrative, person centred psychotherapist. Coming from a background in peri-nataI mental health I'm passionate about working with themes connected to the family such as birth trauma, generational trauma, childhood trauma, attachment issues, low self esteem, late autism/ADHD diagnosis, fertility issues and baby loss. This involves working with mind and body to rediscover a sense of your true authentic self, to find understanding and identify patterns of behaviour or obstacles preventing you from being the best version of yourself. Collaboratively this could result in an acceptance of self and deeper connections.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
