About me
Hello.
My name is Emma Stimson; I am an accredited psychotherapist offering CBT and counselling therapy.
My educational background includes an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and a PGDip in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I am an accredited member of the the BABCP and BACP who regulate professional standards within my profession.
I know that one therapeutic approach does not fit all, which is why I have trained as an integrative and CBT psychotherapist. Integrative psychotherapy incorporates person centred and attachment therapy. In addition, as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, treatment considers how our thoughts effect our behaviours and emotions, and how these can affect us physically.
Many things can cause our world to unravel and sometimes we become overwhelmed by worry or low mood and need expert guidance to overcome our difficulties. I treat depression and many different anxiety disorders including; obsessive compulsive disorder, phobia, panic, generalised anxiety, social anxiety and health anxiety. I also treat post-traumatic stress disorder, and work with addiction and habit reversal.
I work with all ages including 18 year olds and 65+. I have trained in working with long term conditions and learning and behavioural disabilities.
I pride myself on my empathetic, supportive practice where individuals are free to talk in a non-judgemental, compassionate environment where the therapeutic relationship is core to my practice.
For more information please contact me by telephone or email.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
