About me
A warm welcome to my profile. My name is Emma and I am the founder of Autumn Leaves Psychotherapy.
You will find Autumn Leaves Psychotherapy nestled away in a very quiet, picturesque and tranquil location, in the heart of beautiful Kingswood village. Easily accessible by train, bus and only a 2 minute drive from the A217.
I am a fully qualified and experienced child and adolescent psychotherapist. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults at St Thomas' Hospital, The Evalina Children's Hospital and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. I have also set up a psychotherapy practice at a large inner London primary school.
I have successfully treated cases of self harm, low self esteem, attachment difficulties, severe anxiety, bereavement, trauma, chronic illness, school refusal, anger, depression, behavioural difficulties, autism and ADHD.
I am a sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful psychotherapist. I have been through many years of training and clinical experience. I have also had psychotherapy myself. So I haven't just read books, I have done the real work. This matters because being a psychotherapist is about integrity, self knowledge, insight and professionalism.
I am also qualified to work with adults, my model would be psychoanalytic and psychodynamic thinking. I can support you with depression, childhood trauma and postnatal and prenatal depression.
I believe that no therapeutic journey is the same and this is why I really listen and think carefully with you about what you need and how the treatment plan might evolve over time. I understand the courage it takes for you, your child or adolescent to embark on a therapeutic journey and I promise to be a dedicated support through this.
