About me
Hi, I’m Emma — a trauma-trained counsellor based in Chapmanslade, Wiltshire.
I help people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or weighed down by grief, low self-esteem, or past trauma.
You might be exhausted from holding everything together. You may have tried to cope alone, only to feel like nothing’s changing.
You don’t have to carry it all by yourself anymore.
In our work together, you’ll find a calm, compassionate space where you can breathe again, begin to understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and gently start to heal.
What I Help With
I support individuals facing:
- Anxiety, panic, and overwhelm
- Past trauma or PTSD
- Low self-worth and self-criticism
- Grief and complicated loss
- Neurodivergent struggles (including ADHD and autism)
- Relationship challenges and emotional dysregulation
How I Work
I offer down-to-earth, trauma-trained counselling tailored to you.
My approach blends talking therapy with awareness of the body and nervous system. We work at your pace, slowly unwinding fear, stress, and emotional pain patterns.
I’m here to help you feel safe enough to uncover the strength, resilience, and wisdom you already carry — even if it’s hard to see right now.
Session Options
In-person (Chapmanslade)
Walk-and-Talk Therapy (for those who find movement and nature grounding)
Online or Phone Sessions (wherever you are)
Free Intro Call
The first step can feel scary, but you’re not committing to anything. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss what you need and answer any questions.
If something in this profile resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
Just click ‘Book a Consultation’ or email me directly, and we can take it from there.
Training, qualifications & experience
My Experience.
I hold a Diploma in therapeutic counselling as a person-centred counsellor.
I am nearing the end of a post-grad diploma to complete my specialism in trauma, working with the body and the nervous system to heal traumatic experiences held within the body.
Additionally, I’ve gained experience working with OCD difficulties related to trauma and in helping people overcome anxiety, depression, and low self-worth.
I continually undertake (CPD), continued professional learning around trauma and related topics.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I have worked with clients from various backgrounds with a wide range of issues.
I previously volunteered with Cruse Bereavement as a counsellor and bereavement volunteer, specialising in grief work and complex grief.
I’ve also worked in various agencies working around trauma and eating disorders, providing both short-term and long-term counselling.
I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings and experiences. I will tailor my approach to meet your needs and to help you achieve your goals. In our work together, I'll ensure you feel understood and supported.

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.

Further information
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.
