About me

At times we may feel stuck or alone, maybe we are affected by feelings of loss, anxiety, depression or something else which stops us from living fully. Perhaps we notice repeating patterns or habits which we don't know how to change. In these cases, working with an experienced professional with therapeutic methods can be a great tool to help us heal, understand ourselves and access the inner resources we need to move forward.

How it works

By cultivating a safe, confidential space, without any judgement, with the utmost respect and compassion for your experiences and journey whilst holding you accountable for the changes you wish to make, I can support you in exploring anything which is holding you back, and help you to create the awareness you need to make the right decisions for you going forward.

You are always in control of the process, and can use our time together to process your feelings without the need to censor yourself, as well as explore different options for how you'd like to move forward and learn new tools and techniques to support yourself. Your self-awareness will develop and guide you towards what is best for you. You will have access to my secure online portal / app where you can access everything you need (video calls, booking sessions, secure chat with me, shared documents, tools and worksheets tailored specifically to your needs).

I bring my training and experience in effective integrative, holistic counselling, therapeutic coaching and mindfulness to give you the tools to choose from to decide which work best for you. You bring yourself - willingness, worries and anything else - and we work together, side by side, until you feel ready to go forward without me.

My work is client led so we can work more on a behavioural and cognitive level, or if you wish to work deeper I have further training in Gestalt Therapy, and study and practice the principles of Internal Family Systems therapy and teachings like the Law of Attraction, A Course In Miracles, and Science of Mind. All this means that I have a very present and relational approach to our work - I care about how you feel now, how you relate to your environment and the people in it, how you want to feel in the future, and what will help you feel like you are living as the best version of yourself.

How to get started:

I work online, via secure video call, in weekly or fortnightly 50 minute sessions. If you would like to have an informal chat about how I might be able to help, please go to https://emmabrookegilding.practicebetter.io/#/62d7f2a54a67778dfd6de8c0/bookings to see my calendar and book in.

Training, qualifications & experience

My experience has taught me that it is often not about a specific tool or technique brought into the therapeutic relationship, but rather the genuine human connection between therapist / coach and client which can be of greatest benefit. To know that there is someone who isn't going to judge you, or anyone else, outside of your day to day life, who supports you and believes in you is something sadly not enough people have experienced. This external support goes a huge way towards assisting you to build your own strength and resilience and to help you heal whatever it is that has been stopping you reaching full happiness.

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

I work ONLINE only so can work with anyone who is able to use a telephone or computer.
