Profile

Clifford Emmerson is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with 17 years counselling experience working with individuals and families (step families and extended family issues), who are experiencing life challenges such as trauma, family breakdown/communication problems, Anger problems/addictions, bereavement, anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and depression and stress. Although Clifford is in private practice he is also part of a larger professional organisation http://ipswich-humangivens.co.uk/default.aspx ensuring that he has access to the latest scientific and therapeutic findings, which enables him to provide an effective and individual centered service to help people work through their specific difficulty. Contact 01473 727 197

Clifford is trained in the subjects of RELATE, Bereavement, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Guided Imagery and Relaxation, this has culminated in him becoming a practitioner in the Human Givens, an holistic approach using existing knowledge about the brain and the developments in modern science to inform and develop Hypnotherapy (guided Imagery), Counselling and Psychotherapy today. Bringing together theses three elements of therapy ensures I have the effective skills and interventions to help you work through your issues with as few as sessions as possible, as such I offer one to one, couple and family sessions, which can be arranged in my office or at our home, both in the evenings and weekends. It is my understanding that people experience a significant change within 4 to 6 sessions, therefore it is very seldom required to do long term therapy.  http://ipswich-humangivens.co.uk/default.aspx 

All my work is completed in the strictest of CONFIDENCE. I have a number of clients who would be only to willing to sharing their experiences of their therepy and how they recovered from their problems and enjoy life again within a hand full of sessions.  


The Power of Visualisation (Guided Imagery),

Sports for example:

In all areas of sports across the world professionals and non-professional sports people are turning to the power of visualisation to help them to improve their individual or team skills, their chosen subject to reach their full potential or to simply maintain their level of achievement that is satisfying for their needs. I would like to offer you the option of experiencing the highly skilled technique of Guided Imagery to help you meet your sporting needs.

Guided Imagery is  equally effective in all areas of life such as:

  • relaxation
  • breathing in confidence and calm (7/11)
  • visualising success
  • stop biting fingernails
  • first driving lesson
  • pass your driving test
  • exam success
  • public speaking
  • preparation for interviews
  • starting a new job
  • starting a new school
  • starting university or college
  • learning a new skill
  • success in sports
  • get a good night's sleep
  • all fears and phobias


I am aware that the people who sometimes find it hardest to access appropriate and confidential support is other professionals, yet in my experience it is necessary and just, that they find help quickly to maintain their effectiveness in helping themselves, their family and others. As such I am also working one to one with other professionals such as Police, Fire Services, Ambulance staff, Social Services, Teaching Professionals, Directors, CEO, HR staff and Medical staff.

I am also highly skilled and experienced in supporting individuals who are still finding past traumas troubling such as Abuse, Bullying, Road Traffic Accidents(RTA's), Near Death Experiences and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Most of my clients have a sense of relief when they realise that they do NOT have to tell their story all over again or to talk about it in any detail. Through using Guided Imagery and the Rewind Technique, traumas often come to an end in a hand full of sessions. This will allow you to enjoy your life to the full without the dreaded feelings attached from the past.http://www.hgi.org.uk/archive/rewind-technique.htm

PTSD Resolution treatment meets the special needs of veterans.   It is effective without the therapist or anyone else ever knowing about the events that caused the trauma.   This ensures confidentiality. Military trauma causes flashbacks, nightmares, anger and depression - often leading to violence, alcohol and substance abuse, job loss, family breakdown and even suicide.
