About me
Are you exhausted from trying to keep everything going? Maybe you're constantly thinking about what needs to be done next, struggling to switch off or feel like your running on empty.
You might be experiencing stress, burnout or overwhelm and feel as though you've stuck in survival mode. Perhaps you've become disconnected from yourself, your needs and the things that used to bring you joy.
If this sounds familiar, counselling can offer you a space to breathe, pause and make sense of what's happening.
I'm Emma-Jayne, a BACP registered intergrative counsellor based in Carrickfergus, County Antrim. I offer both online counselling across Northern Ireland and face to face counselling in Carrickfergus.
I offer a warm, confidential and non judgemental space where you can talk openly without feeling that you have to have everything figured out.
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor our sessions to you and what you need.
If you're unsure whether counselling is right for you, I offer a free 20 minute phone call. This give us an opportunity to talk about what is bringing you to counselling, answer any questions you may have and see whether I might be the right counsellor for you.
Sometimes the first step is simply having somewhere safe to say, "I'm struggling." If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to hear from you.

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.
