About me
Hello, I’m Emma and I’m an experienced Person Centred Counsellor working with a range of areas including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, ADHD, low self esteem, OCD, relationships and family issues.
- Putting the needs of others first and neglecting your own
- Pushing away your difficult emotions and experiences because you need to just keep going
- Taking full responsibility because you don’t want to burden others
Are these behaviours, thoughts and feelings your normal?
Putting yourself first (or just higher up the list!) and asking for help might sometimes feel impossible, but giving yourself the space to talk and be truly heard is a way to show up for you.
Counselling sessions provide you with the time to share whatever is troubling you, and room to explore your thoughts and feelings. The process can lead to a better understanding of your life experiences and their impact your emotional and mental well-being, and your life now.
As an Integrative Counsellor with a Person Centred foundation, I keep you at the heart of the counselling work and I adapt my approach and the tools/techniques I use, to suit your needs. I offer a free introductory call so you can ask me any questions you have, and we can both get an idea about how we might together.
My aim is to encourage you to feel safe, supported and able to express your thoughts and emotions even if at times, this might feel tough. I work with warmth and compassion and I'm focussed on our connection, I hope that through building a trusted and collaborative relationship, you'll feel heard and empowered to regain control, find clarity and make any changes that feel right for you.
I don't offer 'fixes' to your problems and I won't direct or judge, but I work with curiosity and I’ll gently challenge you, to enable you to gain more insight

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.
