Emily Bland

PLEASE NOTE: I'M ON HOLIDAY UNTIL THE 16th APRIL.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help. Whatever challenges you're facing, you don't need to do it alone. Therapy is a journey we go on together. I’ll be right beside you holding a confidential, safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. We can work together to help you process whatever difficulties you’re facing, and develop strategies that can move you towards a calmer, more stable and peaceful way of being.

I work with clients from all sorts of backgrounds who may be facing many different kinds of challenges including; anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or it might be that they simply want to create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. I also work with couples and with clients who have Autism and ADHD. And I'm specially trained to work with C-PTSD and trauma resulting from coercive control or domestic abuse in intimate relationships.

I'm an integrated psychotherapist and counsellor. That means I work using several different therapeutic approaches. Depending on the type of problem or issue you’d like help with, I can combine these approaches in a way that’s specific to your individual needs and your goals for therapy. I'm happy to work with your preferences and will also suggest different methods and techniques we could try if I feel they would be beneficial.

Therapy is most effective when clients are committed and attend sessions regularly and consistently. Weekly sessions are best practice, but I know that life and all its complications means keeping to a weekly session isn't always possible. So I'm happy to see clients fortnightly if it means being able to access therapy more easily.

Before our first session I suggest having a ten-minute call, so we can say hello, and also to give you an opportunity to outline your reasons for wanting to start therapy, as well as ask me any questions about what to expect.

To help me get a better idea of how you'd prefer to work with me, in our first session we'll cover your past experiences with therapy (if you have any). It's useful for me to know what you feel was helpful and what you feel didn't work so well. We can also use this first session to talk about what you'd like to get out of therapy and set some goals to work towards.

(Please note: my working hours are between 9am-3pm, Tuesday - Friday for both online and face-to-face sessions. I also work on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5-8pm)

For individuals, I charge £55 per hour for online sessions, or £60 for face-to-face. 
I charge £75 for online sessions for couples, or for in-person sessions the cost is £80.  

I also have limited space to offer up to eight low-cost sessions for clients who are students or are on Universal Credit. These sessions are £25 and are online only. Please contact me for more details.
