About me

Hello! I'm Emma, a neurodivergent counsellor from Redcar.

I've been qualified since 2023, and am a registered member of the BACP.

I work in an Integrative style, which means I incorporate different methods of psychotherapy into my practice as necessary. My underlying method
is Person-Centred, which means that our sessions will focus on you and your experiences with a view to helping you discover and accept your whole self.

I am neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ friendly, and have experience working with adult clients across all age ranges, as well as working with a variety of issues.

I am also open to working with counselling students for personal therapy at a discounted rate, which we can discuss.

At present I can only offer online sessions, which will be carried out using Zoom. All sessions will be conducted from a private room, where I will also be wearing headphones to protect your information.

Our first session will be a free 20 minute session, which will enable us to see if we are a good fit for therapy, and then we can agree on further appointments as necessary. 

My hours are Monday - Thursday 10-6, however I can be flexible.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have an Fda in Counselling, as well as level 2 and 3 counselling skills.

I have previously worked with survivors of DV and have training surrounding work with clients who may need help stemming from trauma related to this.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
