I am a registered psychotherapist who believes in the transformative power of a truly safe therapeutic space. My clients often describe me as warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. I understand that sharing your inner world requires courage, and I honor everything you bring to our sessions—nothing is too small or "silly" when it comes to your experience. My Approach - Person Centred I truly believe that you know yourself better than anyone else—including me. My job isn't to tell you what to do or how to feel, but to create a safe space where you can talk about whatever's on your mind without fear of being judged.

Hello! My name is Emma-Louise and I am an integrative therapist trained primarily in Person-Centered and Holistic therapies. I believe that therapy should be a safe place where you can come as the human you are and speak to another human without being labelled, diagnosed or dictated to. We all experience our life so uniquely, that it's impossible to put anyone into a neatly fitted box, that's where I want to work with you to explore your authentic self.

Hi, I’m Laura and I’m glad you’re here. Living with OCD can feel like being stuck in an endless cycle of doubt and fear, especially when it comes to those taboo, “unspeakable” thoughts that no one seems to talk about. It’s exhausting, isolating, and can leave you questioning yourself in ways that feel unbearable. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone. I specialise in working with people just like you—those navigating the challenges of OCD, including its most stigmatised and misunderstood themes.

I work with people who often feel overwhelmed by their emotions, unsure of how to cope with life’s challenges, or disconnected from themselves and others. Many of my clients come to me at a point where they’re seeking not just support, but also a safe and compassionate space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. I also work with adolescents who may be navigating the pressures of school, friendships, or family life while experiencing intense feelings that can be hard to manage on their own.

Life can feel overwhelming - I get that, as a counsellor and as a fellow human. You might be navigating loss, big changes, or relationship challenges, feeling stuck, numb, or exhausted. That inner critic can be loud, making you feel never good enough. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to do it alone. I believe that counselling can be such a powerful experience in helping you to become unstuck, move forward and to see things from a new perspective. If you're struggling to hold on to hope right now, I can hold it for both of us until things seem a little brighter in your world.

Adults Counsellors

Why should adults see a therapist?

Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication.

Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?

When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?

Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
