Emma Bradshaw
About me
I offer person centred counselling, which means that I work with the aim of supporting my clients to explore themselves and their concerns in an empathic, non-judgemental and genuine way, to ultimately determine the right path for themselves in a safe and confidential setting. I also offer a range of other tools and techniques to support my clients including Mindfulness, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Hypnotherapy.
An initial assessment session of 50 minutes is the first stage, during which a prospective client and I can meet and get to know each other, so that I can understand what the client might want to achieve through therapy and the client can understand what I am able to offer and whether they feel comfortable to work with me.
If we both feel that we can work together, I can offer weekly sessions on an open-ended basis or over a fixed period of time, if this is preferred.
I can offer appointments at Farringdon (EC1), South Woodford (E18) and via video or phone.

Member organisations
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
