My Approach

I work integratively, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches rather than believing that one way of working suits everyone. My approach is trauma-informed and relational, with a particular interest in attachment and in understanding how earlier experiences and relationships can continue to shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others and respond to situations in the present.
Therapy with me is collaborative and led by what feels most helpful for you. We might explore patterns in relationships, thoughts and feelings, make connections between past and present experiences, or develop a greater understanding of why certain situations or emotions feel particularly difficult.
I place importance on emotional safety, choice and pacing. There is no expectation to talk about anything before you feel ready. My aim is to offer a space where you can feel heard and understood, while gently exploring what may sit beneath some of the difficulties you are experiencing.
I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is an important part of the work, and that meaningful change often develops through feeling safe enough to be curious about ourselves in a different way.

About Me

Hi, I’m Emma. I’m a UKCP accredited Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with a BSc (Hons) in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, low mood, relationship difficulties and life transitions. I also work with the quieter struggles that can be harder to name, but can still have a significant impact on how we feel about ourselves, our relationships and everyday life.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked for many years within social care, supporting people through difficult circumstances and periods of change. This experience continues to inform my therapeutic work and my understanding of how our experiences, relationships and environments can shape us.
I bring warmth, compassion and curiosity to my work, alongside genuine respect for each person’s individual experience.
