Emma Paddick

Are you feeling sad, overwhelmed, stressed or full of anxiety? Struggling with family issues, relationships or struggling with symptoms of depression  and low mood?

Do you find yourself feeling “not good enough” ? Feeling inadequate, not worthy ? Struggling with low self esteem and confidence?

These are thoughts and feelings I have worked with clients extensively on and through, how to reframe those thoughts and feelings, to allow you to feel the opposite of the above. To be able to be kinder and more compassionate to yourself which in turn will promote positive changes in your life and how you feel.

It’s normal to find things difficult at times, and you don’t have to do this on your own. 

Starting counselling can feel like a scary experience, but you have already made the first step by being here on my page. 

Hello, I’m Emma, thank you for taking the time to look at my introduction, I am a qualified integrative counsellor, with my core training being in person centred therapy. I have lived experience of ADHD and offer a neuro affirming practice.

I believe that one of the greatest gifts you can be given in life is to speak and be truly listened to, heard and understood, this is what I can offer you.

A non-judgemental, friendly, compassionate and confidential space in which to discuss and explore your issues whatever they may be.

I really believe that experiencing validation of your feelings can allow you to explore them in greater depth and together we will explore them, at a pace that you feel comfortable with.

I offer sessions that work for you, be that weekly, fortnightly or monthly and have availability for some evenings and weekend sessions; I am currently working online and by telephone.

I also offer walk and talk therapy in and around the West Oxfordshire area.

I can now offer face to face sessions from the Wellness Centre on Beechwood Park in Stow-on-the-wold.

I have worked for the last 4 years within an agency called Clean Slate who help and support people who have experienced physical, mental, sexual and financial abuse.

Miscarriage, baby loss and infertility is a topic very close to my heart, I've seen and experienced first hand the devastation and heartbreak it brings with it, the longing for answers, the aching to hold your baby in your arms. The feeling that this pain will never end, that no one can understand, that it will never get better. 

I am a big believer that the grief doesn't go away, or that time heals all, but that we as people grow around that grief, it doesn't get smaller, we grow around it.

I am an accredited member of the BACP and adhere to their code of ethics.

£50 per 50 minute session for online/walk and talk therapy.

£60 per 50 minute session for face to face in Stow.

I also have some spaces available for low cost therapy at £35 per 50 minutes.

I have also recently introduced a shorter session of 30 minutes for £25.

I request for payment to be made within 24 hours of asking for a slot to secure the date and time. 

Fees via insurance may vary - reach out for more info.
