About me

The answers you're looking for already exist within you; sometimes you just need the right space to find them.

Building a meaningful connection with each client is at the heart of how I work. I'll walk beside you on your path of self-discovery, helping you understand the roots of your struggles and find your own way through.

I'm Emma, an accredited integrative counsellor offering face-to-face sessions in Warwickshire and online sessions to clients across the UK and worldwide. I offer a flexible and personalised approach, combining different therapeutic techniques to suit your needs. This holistic approach considers your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and past experiences to help you gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions. I also have a specialist interest in supporting expats and internationally mobile people, which comes from my own lived experience of building life abroad. Having lived and worked across Europe myself, I understand the specific emotional landscape of building a life somewhere new — the dislocation, the grief, the identity questions that come with it. I work online with international clients across different time zones, and I do my best to accommodate flexible scheduling.

Your first step is a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation. Sessions are £55, in person in Warwick or online via Zoom. I'd be glad to hear from you.

How I work

We begin with a free 15-minute consultation — no commitment, just a chance to talk and see if we feel like a good fit. If we decide to work together, sessions are 50 minutes, typically weekly. I see clients face-to-face in Warwick, and online via Zoom for clients anywhere in the world. My fee is £55 per session. I work within the ethical framework of the NCPS (Register No. NCS23-00916).
