About me
Please note I am on annual leave from 10th-20th April so all enquiries will be responded to upon my return. Many thanks!
Hello, my name is Emily and I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist. I work with clients online as well as face to face from my consultation room in Ramsgate with relaxing sea views. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to healing, so I am committed to nurturing that connection with you. I believe the quality of our relationship with ourselves and others greatly impacts our mental and physical wellbeing.
Therapy can be a daunting process to begin, whether it’s your first time or you have previous experience. I consider myself to be welcoming, relatable, and deeply committed to your progression. I know that reading countless profiles can be overwhelming and confusing, so please feel free to drop me an email and we can arrange an informal, free-of-charge 15-minute video call to see whether we’re a good fit.
Developing safety and trust can take time, so I work in a warm and collaborative way with my clients, at a pace that suits them. To me, therapy is a confidential space where we can explore what it means to be human together. We will embrace your strengths and challenges with compassion and curiosity. While honesty and self-reflection can be confronting, we will also find the humour in our contradictions and complexities.
The clients I work with most often want to explore how their past is impacting their present, examining which inherited values and beliefs truly fit who they are, and letting go of what isn’t actually theirs to carry anymore. This often means sitting with multiple (and sometimes conflicting) truths. While this can be a painful process, I am here to guide and support you with steadiness and compassion.
I understand how the coping mechanisms that once helped us survive can over time begin to limit how we experience ourselves and our lives. In our work together, we’ll gently explore which beliefs (often unconscious) may be running the show and keeping you feeling stuck, eg, “I’m too much” and/or “I’ll never be good enough”.
Most importantly, my goal is to help you cultivate a more fulfilling relationship with yourself that feels authentic to you, rather than a version of you that might be more influenced by external factors. From my experience, this supports the development of self-awareness, so you can move forward with a greater sense of balance, self-compassion, and intention. Those moments when something is reflected back to you and something just clicks, leaving you feeling deeply seen and understood, is what I love most about therapy. Think "more being” rather than "more doing”.
If this resonates please send me an enquiry and we can discuss further.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Masters in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy completed at Roehampton University in London.
I currently work full time as a private practitioner, offering online sessions to meet the needs of individuals who may be facing barriers to accessing face to face sessions.
I have ongoing experience of working as an EAP therapist (employee assistance programme), supporting clients with a wide range of personal and work related issues.
I was previously a volunteer therapist for Mind in South East London, providing NHS Talking Therapy services to the community. I have also provided therapy in local community services in South East Kent. I have experience working with clients both short-term and long-term, from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures.
I also have considerable experience of working in a category A, high security prison in London as a recovery worker for a charity. This involved working therapeutically with men regarding their alcohol and drug misuse. Previous to this, I worked as a tutor, supporting large groups of adults from disadvantaged backgrounds in developing practical and relational skills to help them gain employment.
These roles have allowed me the privilege of working with clients with differing life experiences, each navigating their own unique challenges on their journey towards better mental and physical well-being.
I have a degree in illustration and would love to hear about your creative interests and how they support your personal growth and wellbeing.
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.
