About me
Hello, I am Emily and welcome to my profile.
I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and accredited member of BACP. I am a trained person-centred therapist which means that I will help you to explore your own issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and achieve greater independence. I also integrate elements of other psychological approaches to meet people's needs, as I believe a 'one-size-fits-all' approach is not for everyone. I offer counselling for a wide range of issues but also specialise in bereavement counselling, anxiety, stress, ecotherapy/walking therapy and counselling for people affected by cancer.
I offer face-to-face counselling at The Consulting Rooms in Norwich and at The Self Centre in Bury St Edmunds and from a rural setting close to Bury St Edmunds. I also offer counselling remotely so can work all over the UK. I also offer walking therapy outdoors. Please contact me by phone or email for details.
I work on a one -to-one with adults and children of secondary age (12 years and upwards) and also offer counselling for couples who are in a loving relationship but need support to work through some issues that are difficult to talk about.
About me
Caring, warm, accepting and motivating.
I offer my clients a confidential space to breathe, talk, and 'just be'. I am very committed to offering you genuine empathic understanding, warmth, acceptance and deep respect. I will help to empower you to grow and see things more clearly.
I am an accredited and qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. I currently work in private private and as a school counsellor. I used to volunteer as a counsellor at Macmillan Cancer Care and as a listening volunteer for Cruse. I am also a qualified teacher of 25 years + and have extensive experience supporting children and teenagers. I have an enhanced DBS check and up-to-date safeguarding training.

Talking therapy helps us to untangle our thoughts and make sense of things and it can take time. I can help you to heal from your past experiences and will support you to find your inner voice and freedom to be you. My business name, 'Naturally me' stems from that thought - I will support you to work out what you want and be your authentic self.
I work with a range of issues including ADHD, ASD, abuse, anxiety and panic attacks, childhood and adult sexual trauma, social anxiety, body image, eating issues (must have multi-agency support), bullying, health anxiety, depression, confidence issues, trauma and recovery, bereavement and loss, adjusting to and living with a health diagnosis such as cancer, life direction, family and partner issues, domestic abuse, parenting, relationship issues, school issues, work stress and special educational needs. We will work together to find a path which meets your needs on your journey.
Most clients make great progress in between 6 and 12 sessions. Feedback from my clients say that I am quick to get to the heart of the problem and have a very good understanding of their individual needs.
What happens next?
The first step is to arrange a free initial assessment to summarise some of the issues you wish to discuss in therapy and to get to know one another in a client-counsellor relationship. Please contact me via email or phone 07368 940271.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
