Hi, I’m Emma and I understand life can be challenging, confusing, overwhelming, stressful and often very difficult at times. Sometimes life can just get on top of us, and sometimes something happens to trigger us. Either way, you don’t have to manage this on your own. I understand that coping with the pressures of daily life alongside your own internal struggles can be difficult. I can help you to work through your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and emotions; to help you make sense of your world. I use an integrative approach, I use a range of methods to assist me in my practice, selecting those which are best suited for you.

Self criticism and criticism towards others may lead to isolation and low self esteem.
I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and a Registered Member of BACP as a Registered counsellor. Psychotherapy is a more wide ranging and a longer process usually, than counselling, for deeper changes. Counselling focuses on specific issues/problems and tends to be shorter term.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or feeling overwhelmed by loneliness and unworthiness? You might feel weighed down by persistent feelings of inadequacy, or you may be navigating grief, life transitions, or a sense of disconnection in your relationships. Perhaps you’ve experienced complex trauma or deep-rooted emotional pain and feel stuck in patterns like self-doubt, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. If previous therapy left you longing for deeper change, I can help you heal the root causes of your struggles and empower you to build a life of confidence, connection, and self-worth.

I work with aspects of person-centred, existential, and psychodynamic therapy, working with you to explore any present issues and significant past experiences that are important to you. Through co-exploration we can identify life scripts and patterns that may unconsciously inform the way you think, feel, behave and relate to others. I hope to provide you with an open non-judgemental space to acknowledge your individual needs and feelings, which for many of us we have unconsciously learned to diminish or dismiss often from an early age.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself—carrying old wounds, facing anxiety, depression, or navigating difficult life transitions. Perhaps you’re not in crisis but sense something’s off, and you long for more clarity and peace. You want a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can explore your feelings, understand your inner experience, and reconnect with your true self. Your goal is to heal, build inner safety, and live authentically—feeling more whole, grounded, and equipped to move forward with confidence and self-compassion.

It’s tough when relationships feel stuck in the same patterns or when emotions become too overwhelming. You might feel disconnected from yourself, unsure where you belong, or struggling to express who you are. Maybe the spaces around you don’t always make room for difference, leaving you feeling unseen. I offer a space where you can share your story, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with who you are beneath the layers of inhibitions, impositions and expectations that may have accumulated over time.

Feeling stuck? The causes can be many: relationship issues, redundancy, bored in the job or even things sometimes termed as “mental illness.” I use that last term carefully because though it can help define the symptoms, if often fails to get at the human story beneath which is always there and needs addressing as well as any medical issues. In my sessions my aim is to help you past what eve holds you back into a better life- whatever that means to you.

I work with people who are in some way feeling inner distress. Perhaps they've faced something painful or traumatising in the past and the emotional residue of it remains inside. Perhaps they have experienced loss, or are facing grief - for a loved one, for a time, even for themselves (that feeling of who you really are in your own life). They might be struggling with a situation that feels difficult, even overwhelming, (anything from a relationship or a work problem, to an inner understanding of their own sexual or gender identity). They might wake each day to a feeling of anxiety or dread, drained of energy and facing depression.
