Emma Radway-Bright

Training, qualifications & experience

• I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, with membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I appear on their Register of therapists and work according to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
• I have undertaken specialist training to work with people suffering from the effects of trauma and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
• I volunteered for a number of years, both while training and post-qualification, with organisations who worked with women and young girls who have experienced rape, childhood sexual, physical or emotional abuse, and domestic violence. I continue to work with these issues in my private practice.
• I also work with women and men who have needed additional support post-miscarriage or post-abortion; and with people who are specifically carers (supporting a person who has a specific health or mental need) and struggling with the burden of this role.
• My experience spans all the common mental wellness challenges you could encounter... feelings of sadness, depression, despair, stress, fear, anger, anxiety, abandonment, loneliness, rejection, trauma and confusion. This list is not exhaustive, as I've encountered so many feelings and experiences while working with people that would be too many to list.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

There are just too many specific areas of counselling I cover to list. It's important for you to recognise that whatever mental health challenges or problems you are dealing with... they don't have to fit in a box or have a specific name.

LIFE is what we all struggle with at times. It's messy. It's varied. And I don't think any one person fits into any kind of box or experiences the same difficulties in the same way.

If you're having difficulties and need to talk. Then let's do this! Give me a call and let's start to work out how you can move forward and feel better by having some therapy.

I practice an integrative approach to therapy. This means several distinct models of counselling and psychotherapy are used together. We can explore a range of approaches. But don't worry... models and approaches mean nothing to most people. I'll just use my knowledge, expertise and experience to work with you.
