Emma Varco
About me
Emma is a fully qualified MBACP (Accred) registered integrative psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling with over 10 years of experience, working across private practice, NHS and charitable organisations.
At times we can become stuck in life patterns and routine, which no longer serve us purpose and consequently cause unbalance, distress and a sense of overwhelm. Life can throw us curve balls, leaving us feeling like we are sinking in the unmanageable and we can all too often avoid our deepest fears and consequently our pain, which causes such unbalance and confusion.
Emma provides a confidential space to help identify reoccurring emotional patterns that prove problematic and unhelpful. Exploring how these difficulties impact on current life style, relationships and emotional well-being, helping you to reconnect with your true self and life purpose.
Emma’s therapeutic process is rooted in humanistic, relational and existential approaches of psychotherapy. Emma also offers evidence based, psycho-educational solutions of cognitive behavioural therapy for people suffering with a wide range of common mental health issues such as low mood and/ or anxiety.
Emma holds valid health insurance with Towergate professionals.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
