Emma Leeper (Diploma in Integrative Counselling, Reg member MBACP)
About me
Hi
I offer a warm and relaxed, extremely accepting, down to earth, professional approach to my practice and the work with all my clients.
We are all complex and flawed...
We all struggle with ourselves and our lives, we experience dark thoughts and dark times, what is sad is that for a great deal of the time we feel we are so alone in our suffering, leaving us isolated and trapped.
I have an integrative approach which partly comes from my professional training but also from a wealth of life experiences, ongoing training and passion into the human experience from many different prospectives. I have a very genuine appreciation, respect and belief in people. I love the work I do and feel very honoured to be able to do it.
I have worked with clients of all ages and all walks of life.
I have worked in various charities as well as my private practice and continue to do so at the Kernos centre.
I've done a lot of work with teenagers which I also enjoy very much
I have a great deal of experience of working with sufferers of anxiety. This is a human condition that can present in many different forms, and can be mild to literally crippling.
I have had proven results with the approach and strategies I use.
I know it can be daunting taking the first step into asking for some help so please feel free to drop me an email or phone call and we can have an informal chat about what you might be hoping for.
The sessions I offer are 50 minutes and are charged at £45 per session.
The no obligation initial session is charged at a reduced rate of £25.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
