Counselling in TR1

I see clients from all backgrounds and specialise in working with men, or women seeking to better understand difficult relationships with men. I work with many issues including stress, feeling sad, low self-esteem, loss and relationship difficulties. My clients often want to change something about themselves and need a place where they feel comfortable to share their emotions and better understand their needs. Articulating emotions and needs can be a struggle at first for some and I am experienced in helping clients to open up over time. My work is with individual clients online or in person, both short and long term.

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor who has worked within the public sector and with private clients over a number of years. I use a combined approach to psychotherapy as I believe that there is not one single approach that can successfully treat each client in all situations. I am an experienced warm and compassionate Practitioner and believe that the quality of the relationship between Therapist and Client is fundamental. I offer a safe and confidential space, where together, we can explore areas which matter to you, so you can make appropriate changes, feel in control of your life and develop through in-depth sessions.

If you are reading this profile, you have come to a point in your life where you need some help - someone to talk to, who will truly listen, with empathy and understanding. Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression, bereavement or whether you are questioning the purpose or direction of your life, being able to freely express your thoughts and feelings in an atmosphere of safety, confidentiality and trust can open up new ways of seeing and being, enabling you to break free of past conditioning, becoming more aware of who you really are and finding your true potential.

Life can be a struggle at times, meaning we are unable to cope and need some additional support to help us do more than just function. I will work with you through your own self-guided journey, I offer a safe limitless space to engage in growth and self-awareness and acceptance. I have been volunteering and working within the mental health sector for the past five years and understand that mental health can be a scary, lonely and confusing place, I want to help you explore, understand, change and accept some aspects of your life.

It takes courage to ask for help... welcome. As a skilled integrative Counselling Therapist I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to gently explore the difficulties that can cause us pain and suffering. In my practice I use an individualised and integrative approach to empower my clients, develop skills and utilise the resources within to help face and resolve life’s challenges.

I am a Counselling Psychologist and Relate trained couples counsellor. I have worked in the NHS for 15 years and the private sector for 7, across Drug & Alcohol Services, Eating Disorder Service, Primary Care counselling and Young People's counselling services. ​I principally work from an integrative position and offer a range of psychological interventions including brief intervention and longer term therapy. I offer an initial assessment appointment to gain a good overview of the concerns you are experiencing and your thoughts on the type of help you are seeking. We will decide on the type of approach which may be most helpful.

How can I help you? Perhaps life seems a real struggle at the moment, things that used to help no longer do and you feel powerless to help cope with life’s difficulties. Perhaps the problem is more relational, your relationships are unfulfilling or strained? Perhaps the focus is on worry and concern for a young person in your life- they are not coping, and you do not know how to help and support them. Whatever your focus we can work together to provide the space and time to understand what is happening and make positive steps for the future. We are all human and we all suffer albeit in different ways.

Sometimes life can feel a little overwhelming. Dealing with conflict at work or how you feel about yourself maybe how you treat yourself. Or maybe you would like to be more assertive, to be able to respect who you are and what you do. Or maybe you have lost someone or something you loved. You may feel you are out of control, or you may be being abused. Are you forever going over conversations or awkward moments thinking what if, what do others think of me. Let me help you find your way to finding you again, the you that loves yourself for who and what you are, a beautiful caring person.

I have 27 yrs post-qualification organisational & private practice experience. I trained and worked in New York & London. As well as private practice, I have managed mental health and substance abuse services. I offer individual psychotherapy, family/couple counselling, & clinical supervision. I work to identify, activate and strengthen people's own internal resources. I combine exploring the origins of behaviours that have become self-defeating, with focusing on current coping strategies, support systems, and improving life in the present moment. Body/mind/emotions/spirit are interconnected, and attention needs to be paid to each.

Emma is a fully qualified MBACP (Accred) registered integrative psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling with over 14 years of experience, working across private practice, NHS and charitable organisations. At times we can become stuck in life patterns and routine, which no longer serve us purpose and consequently cause unbalance, distress and a sense of overwhelm. Life can throw us curve balls, leaving us feeling like we are sinking in the unmanageable and we can all too often avoid our deepest fears and consequently our pain, which causes such unbalance and confusion.

With the right support making positive change is entirely possible and everyone has the ability to reach their true potential. It is true that at times we can lose our way through painful or difficult life experiences or relationships however it's not about being told what you need, you already know. The counselling process will facilitate you to coming back to being who you are which is natural and was never something to obtain.

Many of us face a variety of ups and downs throughout our lifespan. While family or friends can often help us, this may not always be possible, or additional support may be needed. A qualified counsellor can help to explore or change something in our lives which may be holding us back. We will explore your thoughts and feelings together, within a safe and confidential space with sessions adapted depending on individual needs. Through training and attending sessions myself I understand the difference it can make and am passionate about the process. I look forward to meeting you should you decide to take the leap and get in touch.

A warm welcome to you! At Polkerris Counselling, in a confidential space just for you, we can take time out from the pressures of life to work things out at your own pace, whether you are facing a life crisis or bereavement, experiencing anxiety, stress or depression or perhaps just feeling something isn't quite right. As an integrative counsellor, I have a range of approaches and techniques to offer to meet the situation you have brought. Currently, I'm often working with new parents, would-be parents and bereaved parents helping them successfully cope with a major life transition with all its pressures, whatever they may be.

Welcome. If you are needing support and wondering which way to turn I am an experienced psychotherapist who would like to see if I can help you. People come to therapy for many reasons but underneath is a desire for change.
