About me
Hello, I’m Emma, and I know how daunting it can be to start therapy. That hesitation, that anxiety – it’s completely normal. But by finding yourself here, you’ve already taken the most important step towards change. Recognising that something in your life needs attention is incredibly brave, and it’s a journey I’d be honoured to support you on.
I often think of mental health like holding a bunch of balloons. Each balloon might represent a different struggle – anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or relationship issues. Sometimes they feel so heavy they pull you down, while other times they feel like they might all float away, leaving you feeling ungrounded. I understand this because I’ve carried my own balloons too. It’s my own journey through mental health that inspired me to become a therapist, and it allows me to bring genuine empathy and understanding to my work.
As an integrative therapist, I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Just as each balloon is unique, so are you. I draw from different therapeutic techniques to tailor our sessions to your needs, creating a flexible and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings at your own pace. Therapy doesn’t always have to be heavy - sometimes it’s in the lighter, unexpected moments that real “eureka” breakthroughs happen. I believe there’s room for fun and laughter too.
What matters most to me is that you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to uncover insights that lead to meaningful change. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, identity struggles, ADHD, or navigating the complexities of relationships, I’m here to walk beside you, helping you find clarity and empowering you to live a more fulfilling life.
There will be hard conversations and emotional moments, but together we can find ways to carry those balloons more lightly - or even let go of the ones that no longer serve you.
Wherever you are on your journey, I’m here to meet you. Let’s explore it together.

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.

Additional information
I understand that finding the right therapist is an important step towards a positive and effective therapeutic experience. To support you in making this decision, I offer a free 20-minute conversation before our first session. This gives you the opportunity to share what you'd like to work on, your goals, and a bit about yourself. It’s also a chance for you to see if you feel comfortable with me and if I’m the right person to support you on your journey.
My approach is centred on creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. I believe in working together, tailoring my support to suit your unique needs and helping you move towards the changes you want to make.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to get in touch -I’m here to help. Taking that first step can be challenging, but reaching out could be the start of a positive change.
Concessions and reduced rates are available for online sessions only.
