About me
I offer one-to-one sessions tailored to your needs, providing a confidential and supportive space to explore what’s going on for you.
I use a combination of therapeutic counselling, mindfulness and somatic breathwork practices to help you shift through blockages, process trauma and come to terms with the reality of your life.
In the words of one client:
"I’ve been to see quite a lot of people and sometimes it can feel quite invasive. Emma …listens really well and supports and guides me to find my own answers. She’s gentle but doesn’t pamper you. She doesn’t try and fix things or analyse things she just supports me to support myself."
Working with me you can expect to
- change your relationship with your stresses,
- stop being bullied by your inner critic
- shift that sense of never quite being good enough
- become more compassionate with yourself and others so that you can live with more contentment in your everyday.
Sessions are available over zoom or in person in Oban.
Training, qualifications & experience
I gained an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from the College of Holistic Medicine in Jan 2023, following 2 years of study.
I also graduated as a mindfulness practitioner and meditation leader in June 2020, having completed the year-long course "Mindfulness to Heartfulness"
My biggest area of training is my own personal and spiritual development and the life I have been given
I have lived experience of acute, chronic, and complex trauma. I have the panic attack tee-shirt, the anxiety tee-shirt, the shame and guilt tee-shirt, the suppressed anger tee-shirt, the people-pleasing and not good enough tee-shirts. I have a varied and multi-coloured wardrobe.
My own journey of reflection, sitting with, acknowledging, and accepting has led me to a place of having safe hands to support and guide others on their journey.
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.
