About me

Hi, I'm Emma from Northern Star Talking Therapy.
I'm a trauma-informed therapist based in Newcastle,
and I'm passionate about creating a space where
people feel safe, supported, and truly heard.

I believe therapy should feel human, gentle,
and compassionate; just a place where you can
show up as you are, without pressure or judgement.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, stuck,
or struggling in ways you can't quite put into words, 
you're not alone, and you're very welcome here.

I offer evidence based cognitive behavioural and EMDR therapy, reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. 

I offer face to face or online appointments. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Occupational therapist, PG Diploma in CBT, EMDR, CFT/ACT.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
