About me
Scrolling through directory listings to find the right counsellor can feel overwhelming, and it’s not always easy to work out who might be the best fit for you — especially if you’re not feeling your best right now. I’ve tried to keep this introduction as simple as possible, giving you the key things you might want to know. If you’d like to get a better feel for how I can support you, I’m always happy to offer a free initial chat over the phone. There’s no pressure to continue if it doesn’t feel right.
Counselling can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Sessions offer you a space where you can be yourself — a space to process, reflect, and feel what you need to feel. You don’t need to have everything worked out before you start. You might be grieving the loss of someone or something important, feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, exploring neurodiversity, navigating identity questions, or simply trying to hold everything together. I can offer a gentle, steady space to explore whatever you’re carrying.
I blend traditional talking therapy with creative approaches to help you connect with your experiences in a way that feels safe and accessible. I also pay attention to what your body and nervous system might be telling you, because those cues often help us understand what’s happening beneath the surface and what you might need.
I work with a wide range of clients and have experience of many areas including anxiety (including generalised anxiety disorder and social anxiety), low self esteem / low confidence, women's health (including PMOS / PCOS and menopause), relationship / family issues and stress or depression. My particular areas of experience are;
Bereavement and Loss — including grief after the death of a loved one, the ending of relationships, and childhood bereavement.
Neurodivergent Experiences - Including Autism and ADHD, late diagnosis, masking, burnout, sensory processing needs, communication difficulties and identity exploration.
LGBTQ+ Wellbeing - Including relationships, transitions, and self understanding.
Young People (11+) — offering a space just for them to explore feelings, build confidence and develop ways of coping, using creative interventions and games to help them express themselves.
I work face to face in Ringwood, Hampshire or Sturminster Newton, Dorset with adults and children aged 11+. I offer online or telephone sessions to adults across the UK.
When you feel ready to reach out, I offer an initial 20-minute telephone call where you can ask any questions you might have and see if I am the right fit. Please request a call through the button above, or email me on emily@fayrewoodcounselling.co.uk to arrange.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
