About me

Hi, I'm Emily, an Integrative Therapist and NCPS accredited member.

I offer online counselling for individuals based in the UK. It is queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, and chronic illness affirming.

What can therapy do for me?

  • Work on ways of coping or managing
  • Look to reconnect with your sense of self and your body
  • Look to understand and be more in touch with your feelings and emotions
  • Give you a space to process difficult situations and look at how to move forward
  • Reframe your inner narrative and how you talk to yourself
  • Explore your behaviours and thought patterns to understand where they came from, reassess if they are still working for you, and how we can reframe them
  • Boost confidence in your identity and how you express yourself
  • Begin to notice what you want in life rather than just living in survival mode
  • Amongst other things...

Want to start? Get in touch with me via email or book in via my site.

Further information

I am a multiamory/non-monogamy, queer, neurodivergent (ND), chronic illness, and body neutral therapist who has involvement in these communities. 

I'm on a mission to help people whose identities, relationships, or bodies don’t always fit the mainstream. With both lived experience and professional training, I understand what it’s like to feel unseen, misunderstood ,or excluded and I believe you deserve a space where you are seen, accepted, and valued.

As an integrative/pluralistic therapist I adapt my way of working to your individual preferences in a collaborative and consent-led way. I believe you are the expert of yourself, and so, we will talk about what it is you would like to get out of counselling and look at ways we can do this; the approaches and methods used will be used to account for intersectionality, without pathologising you i.e. I work with YOU in a holistic way. 

My core way of working is co-creating a safe, compassionate, affirming, and non-judgemental space through person centred counselling and it's core conditions, which are to hold you with unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence. Safety is a big part of my work, and I will work with you to create a space you feel safe(r) in and allow stability in exploring what you need to. This might mean using fidget toys, writing notes in sessions, turning the camera off if low on spoons, having a drink readily available etc. and it might mean looking at how the sessions are structured, i.e. whether we have a more structured format of this is what we'll look at each session, whether it's more open for whatever is on your mind that day, or maybe a mix!
