Emma Ramarge

Hello, welcome to my profile.

Thinking about your life situation can sometimes feel daunting, scary, overwhelming and upsetting. 

Life can sometimes throw us into situations we don't expect and find hard to deal with and get out of. Sometimes, coping can seem impossible when your world is falling around you. Talking to somebody about these troubles might be a big step, but I can help you reduce your heavy load and feelings over time. You are not alone in this. 

It's much easier when you have someone to guide and support you, someone who has felt as you have and worked through it.

Having experienced counselling myself and sharing a problem with someone I could trust, someone who didn't judge me, and someone with whom I could just be me was a life-changing experience. 

I understand how overwhelming life can be. My journey with past trauma and life difficulties has given me an understanding of what works well to feel better and what could help you, too. I’ve been in your shoes, feeling alone and misunderstood, like I had all the bad luck, and I know the courage it takes to seek help and to work on those things for a better and more fulfilling life of calm and happiness.

Why Choose Me?

I can help you to move through difficult feelings to a happier place.

I offer you a safe place to come each week. We would work together to restore safety in your life, process what has gone on for you, and provide time to work out your needs and wants. 

I bring empathy and understanding to our sessions, informed by my training and life experiences.

I specialise in working with anxiety and traumas from the past or present and any related issues such as depression, relationship problems, anxiety, and low self-worth. I have also gained experience in working with OCD difficulties due to traumas. 

Together, you can heal from past/ present pains and build healthier relationships with loved ones and friends, free from anxiety and whatever is holding you back.

Understanding Trauma.

Trauma can stem from abuse, neglect or distressing events and can affect you emotionally, physically, and in the way you might behave or act. It could manifest as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or self-destructive behaviours. I provide a safe space for you to explore these feelings and experiences.

My Approach.

My counselling style is warm, nonjudgmental, and client-centred. You have the inner resources to create change; I’m here to guide and facilitate that process.

I use mindfulness, breath, and relaxation/ grounding techniques to help manage stress/trauma and stay grounded. These techniques help you come back into the present moment and back into your body, regulating the body and mind and allowing you to live a freer life.

I've helped many people overcome their struggles and to go on and live more fulfilling lives.

How I Can Help.

In our sessions, we’ll identify and address the root causes of your struggles. You’ll develop effective coping strategies and gain confidence and self-awareness. Grounding techniques will enable you to feel better in moments of difficulty and will be a lifelong support if things get tough.

You’ll experience a sense of calm and peace, allowing you to enjoy life more fully. 

No matter what you’ve experienced or your current challenges, we can create a future that helps build the life you want around your previous experiences.

Investing in your mental health is crucial to a happier, more fulfilling life, and I’m here to support you. I do offer some concessional places, so please enquire about these.

My session fee is £65 per hour. I ask for a monthly payment in advance. If this might cause any issues, we could discuss this in our initial chat.

If you decide to get in contact, the first step would be for us to arrange an initial counselling session, which could take place over the telephone or online. This initial session is an opportunity to get a feel for the process and decide if you want to continue.

There is no pressure to commit to continuing, as the most important thing is to find a counsellor who is right for you and who you can trust and connect with. If you choose to continue, we will arrange a regular meeting time each week.

The counselling process is unique to each individual and can be short or long-term, but it is reviewed during our work together.

Please do get in touch to arrange an initial appointment or if you would like to have a brief introductory chat first. I look forward to hearing from you.
