About me

My name is Emma and I offer therapy in the UK, as part of my lovely brand, Trust Your Process Therapy ✨️

How often do you feel heard? Truly listened too? Or even fully understood?

It's always been really important to me, to work with people who value themselves to know that their mental health and wellbeing is important. We leave our mental health as a last resort sometimes, when everything else comes first or when life feels too busy. It shouldn’t be our last resort, it should be just as important as the small things we do in everyday life.

Counselling has the ability to help you feel empowered, to make those changes you feel you want to make, whilst having that safe space with someone who allows you to feel comfortable and heard. I believe that therapy works best when you can be the truest version of yourself. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure of your next steps, I aim to walk alongside you with compassion and honesty. I tailor our sessions to what you need, sometimes that means offering a space to explore feelings, other times it might mean using practical CBT strategies to help challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. You can bring whatever you need to your sessions and whatever you want too without judgement.

As a registered counsellor, I can work with you and help you move through your problems, in your own way and at your own pace. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach to therapy, I believe in diversity and I believe in adapting sessions to work with each individual's needs. I also feel that this is a team effort - I am here to direct where needed but everything we do together, is decided together during our sessions, meaning you are in the drivers seat. Whether your anxiety is taking over your daily life, your depression is impacting you desperately or if you would like to grow your confidence and regain that sparkle, these are all areas we can work through together.

You deserve to spend that time in understanding yourself, but this is also your little reminder that you are important and putting yourself first is important sometimes. If you're looking for a therapist who is open and honest, positive and reassuring whilst putting your needs first, then you found her.

Offering face to face sessions in the Derbyshire area, DE5, alongside video and telephone sessions across the UK.

Training, qualifications & experience

As a qualified and Registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) I have experience working with a range of types of issues, with various age groups. Currently, my work includes working with a large EAP, working with various different types of clients. I have previous experience in counselling children in a school-based setting, alongside working with bereaved children and adults, for a Bereavement charity. I have experience of working in a Women’s Centre, counselling women of all ages, working with female victims and survivors of all types of abuse, trauma, rape and sexual violence. This includes current, historical and childhood abuse and trauma. My current private case load is varied - I have both female and male clients, from a range of ages, from 11 years old and up with a variety of different things going on for them.

In total, to gain my counselling qualification, I trained with CPCAB for 5 years. I have also completed the COP exam with the BACP (Certificate of Proficiency) which is a standardised assessment of the skills, knowledge and abilities required to be a professional counsellor and psychotherapist. I then continued my learning and have undertaken a Level 5 diploma in CBT, meaning I am equipped to work from both a person centred and CBT perspective.

My academic qualifications so far include;
