About me
Hello my name is Emma,
Reaching out for support can be frightening, but it is actually a sign of strength and bravery. We all struggle at times and need understanding and compassion.
If you are reading this, then maybe you are feeling overwhelmed. This could be through feeling stressed, anxious or struggling with the challenges that life brings.
Counselling may feel like a daunting experience. Often, it can feel very different, like a conversation, where we will talk and explore your difficulties together. At times there may be tears, but also we may laugh at different things.
We will work together through a friendly and supportive partnership, where I will listen to you through your own feelings and thoughts. With no judgement, allowing you to feel accepted, just as you are.
I am an Integrative therapist, meaning I am trained in different theories which brings a wealth of knowledge into the therapeutic relationship. This allows me to tailor your sessions to what you need. Then together we can understand how life can be more fulfilling and experienced in a happier and healthier way. Helping to support long term changes.
My Experience
My background is in Hospice care, including supporting carers and those bereaved from a death of a loved one. Including complex grief, involving sudden or unexpected death. I have supported individuals of all ages around grief and loss which appears in our lives in many different forms. Including pet bereavement, work related issues, relationship breakups, empty nest, family issues and dynamics, or finding yourself alone after being widowed.
I have also supported both Adults and Young people with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, depression, relationship problems, ADHD and neuro divergence (to name just a few).
How I work
I offer sessions over the telephone or through on-line video calls.
To see if I am the right counsellor for you, I offer a free initial 30-minutes telephone consultation to discuss any questions you might have and how we could work together. Please feel free to contact me via email or text.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I hold professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Pet Bereavement For many people, the loss of a pet is as painful as losing a loved one. The connection we have with our pets is unique and deeply meaningful. When others dismiss this grief, it can intensify feelings of loneliness and make it harder to process the loss.
