About me
Hi, I’m Emma. I’m an Integrative Relational Therapist, but most importantly I’m a human, who understands that being human can be hard sometimes.
As an Integrative Therapist, I am trained in a variety of approaches, grounded in empathy, kindness and a genuine belief in the strength and potential of every client I meet. This also allows me to create a therapeutic space that is tailored to your individual needs,
During sessions, we can explore any issues at your pace, uncovering insights and tools that can help you face challenges. My role is to create a space to facilitate growth and empower you to make the changes that resonate with your true self. Together, we'll celebrate your victories, learn from the hurdles, and gradually build towards the life you envision for yourself.
Having been through therapy myself, I understand the importance of feeling heard and supported through difficult times; but also know how it may be hard to reach out. To help you decide if you would like to work together, I am happy to offer a 15-minute, free consultation to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.
Whether you are struggling with low self-esteem, relationship troubles, parenting issues, or just want someone to talk to, I can offer a compassionate and understanding space, where your feelings are validated and heard.
Using an approach tailored to help you find the roots of difficult feelings, such as anxiety and overwhelm, I can help equip you with practical coping strategies to help you discuss and explore any difficulties you are currently facing.
I’m here to listen to your story without judgment and support you to the best of my ability.

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.
