Suffering from high levels of anxiety?
This is where counselling can really help. Together, we take time to gently explore the areas of pain or anxiety that may have felt too difficult to face alone. Along the way, there can be moments of insight, relief, and even joy. Many people experience a significant easing of anxiety and emotional pain as understanding grows.

Most importantly, providing a safe space for both partners to work through their issues.

Perhaps you're feeling down or anxious, maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead.
My view of therapy is that it requires a holistic approach. I work in an integrative manner, which means I use a variety of tools depending on client needs, including person-centered and CBT, as well as mindfulness and self-compassion. A good deal of my experience is working with men, and members of the neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ communities.

They often come because they don't feel heard in their day-to-day life, or need somewhere to explore emotions without fear of reactions or feelings of guilt.
I help clients by offering a trusting, safe non-judgmental platform wherein I work collaboratively with them, human to human, supporting them in exploring what makes them who they are, identifying their needs, becoming more attuned to their emotions and offering them the tools to better cope when life inevitably throws a curve ball as it so often does.

I've worked extensively with those suffering from anxiety/depression, relationship/family issues, health concerns, trauma, bereavement and addictions.
We all have periods where we struggle with ourselves, with our feelings and emotions, with our lives. We can experience the darkest of thoughts and feel very isolated, all too often believing we are alone in our suffering. That need not be the case, and with some support and nurturing, we can begin to feel stronger and look towards the future, rather than away from it. My name is Emma and I can offer you a warm yet professional and non-judgemental approach to counselling in a safe, calm space. I use an integrated , client-led approach derived not only from my years of training, but also from a wealth of life experience.

I work with people who feel stuck in the same cycles - whether it’s relationships, work, or their own thoughts and who want to finally understand why. My approach is Psychodynamic, which means we don’t just focus on surface symptoms or quick coping strategies. Instead, we look beneath the patterns you repeat, often without realising, and uncover what’s been driving them. Many clients have tried CBT or other short-term therapies before, but come to me when they sense something deeper still needs attention. Sessions with me are 50 minutes, once a week, in a calm and confidential space where you can bring whatever is on your mind.

Hello, and welcome. As an experienced psychodynamic counsellor, I specialise in working with children and young people between the ages of 10-30. For children and young people, it can often be difficult to understand or express their emotions. This can lead to overwhelming, confusing or stuck feelings, perhaps resulting in low self-esteem and struggles with relationships with others, and themselves. Counselling and creative therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, and develop an understanding of their thought patterns whilst building communication skills and emotional resilience.
