Hi my name is Emma and I’m an experienced BACP Accredited, online counsellor. I can help you with a range of issues including stress, feeling depressed or anxious, dissatisfaction at work or with life in general, low self esteem/confidence, relationship/family problems, parenting issues, loss, anger, trauma and/or [unhelpful] 'safety’ behaviours such as avoiding [tasks / people / situations], rehearsing, seeking reassurance, ruminating, rituals, not/touching things, checking, limiting food, overeating, shouting, keeping quiet, over-working, prioritising others, making lists, procrastinating, using alcohol/drugs [including prescribed/psychiatric drugs], and worrying. Whatever you are struggling with I've found that the vast majority of my clients benefit from psycho education [learning about how the brain works but without the need to be a neuroscientist!]: say hello to your 'Monkey' brain... and most want practical strategies and techniques that they can easily apply to effect change in their day to day life.  If that sounds like you then please get in touch. I have developed a series of mind maps to help explain common issues eg anxiety, depression, life balance, sleep problems, and potentially useful solutions which include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy [which is about recognising and challenging unhelpful thinking], breathing techniques, mindfulness [which is about being in the here and now / accepting thoughts], and various written exercises - these are just some examples - really it's just a question of finding what works for you. I have a lot of experience of working with GPs, trainee doctors, and Fire Service employees. I also have specialist experience and knowledge of disability, carer, health, student, LGBTQIA2S+ and gender dysphoria issues, and I have lived experience of rare disability and carer issues. My background of working at the BBC and being a writer means I have a lot of experience of putting people at ease and developing a good rapport. I aim to offer a warm, friendly approach to counselling, which most importantly includes listening without judging. I'm experienced in doing long and short term work - even one off sessions - having worked in a variety of different settings including in the NHS taking referrals from the local Depression and Anxiety service, for an NHS Specialist Gender Identity Clinic [for individuals thinking about, or in the process of, transitioning], and at the University of Exeter, as well as counselling GPs, trainee doctors and Fire Service employees via Employee Assistance Programmes, as well as via my private practice. Finally, whilst I can't give you medical advice I can help you source information and support you if you are thinking about taking prescribed psychiatric drugs, are already taking psychiatric drugs but want to consider your options, have decided you want to stop taking them, and/or you are in the process of tapering already. NB Please message me if you'd like a session on a day/time that doesn't look available on my calendar because I could have availability and/or I can create a session slot for you.

As an integrative counsellor I will also use techniques from other approaches to help you from time to time. These techniques are selected with you in mind, to help further your empowerment.

Hello. As a counsellor/psychotherapist, I am committed to choosing a therapeutic approach that works best for you, and view the relationship between us both to be crucial in facilitating whatever changes you want to make. I know that shopping around and finding the right fit is important before investing money, time and emotional energy - and so I'm always happy to have a brief informal chat before you commit to any sessions. I work with a variety of presenting issues, and am happy to work with you for short-term or long-term therapy. I am LGBTQIA+/GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity) allied, sex positive and body positive. I also have lived experience of Autism and ADHD and keep up to date with research and services around neurodivergence. I have previously counselled children from age 5 upwards in school settings, and with parents in a post-natal depression charity. Prior to my counselling career, I worked in the arts and education sectors, supporting people of different ages and abilities to explore and express themselves - which it seems is something of a passion of mine. My arts training and background mean that I'm not averse to bringing creativity into the therapeutic relationship if appropriate. ** Note: Please message to check availability before purchasing a session. Thank you **

I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist (BACP registered) offering individual on line and telephone counselling to adults, the work can be short term or on-going. My way of working involves thinking about the link between past and present experiences, such as your relationships or how you respond to situations in your life.There could be patterns of behaviour that you have become stuck in and unaware of. There may be something specific that you are struggling with or a general feeling of unhappiness where feelings and thoughts are troubling you and have become overwhelming. I offer a non-judgemental space where we can explore whatever you bring together, at your own pace and in a way which feels safe. Having this space to recognise and make sense of your experiences can lead to positive change, more freedom and self awareness.

I am a BACP accredited counsellor working with individuals and couples. My belief is that every human being is unique and views the world in an individual way. Therapy with me offers an exploration of what makes you who you are. This can involve looking at your childhood, your values and relationship patterns, in a supportive and non-judgemental way. I believe in gently encouraging you to reach your full potential. You may come to therapy because of a particular crisis or difficulty in your live. Simply telling your story can be enormously beneficial. However, you don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. You might simply want a space to explore your life in a more philosophical way. Therapy offers a safe place for that exploration. Mindfulness and present moment awareness are at the heart of how I work as a therapist. In becoming more comfortable with the uncomfortable we can find peace and acceptance of wherever we find ourselves. Then we can begin to move on.

How can I help? 1) Marital and Relationship Issues As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist I work with individuals and couples to understand the causes of their difficulties and rebuild love and connection in their relationships. Couples often experience a breakdown of communication, that causes a fight and flight reaction. These may become repetitive cycle of self destructive behaviour were anger expressed spins out of control .A reduction of emotional closeness, trust and physical intimacy follows which can lead to crises in the relationship, affairs and even the threat of divorce. Together we explore what you need, why there is disconnection and how you can get the relationship you want. A key to this is building open and calm communication in order to understand each other, resolve conflict and meet each others needs . We also focus on building greater appreciation, care and fun to reignite love and connection in the relationship. 2) Overcoming Anxiety ( Generalised Anxiety Disorder & Panic attacks) Anxiety comes from underlying fear. To overcome it, we need to understand what the fear is and what is causing it. Sometimes it can be based on illusory thinking, where a person focuses on the worst case scenario coming true. These thoughts need to be challenged so we can eliminate them. . When the fear is a real one, it needs to be confronted by taking appropriate action. There are times when anxiety is based on the influences from past experiences, which need to be addressed to resolve them. 3) Anger Management Anger can wreak havoc in a person’s life. With anger management a person gains understanding into what’s triggering the anger and how to change the way you respond. This can be by expressing feelings in a healthy way, and taking appropriate steps to solve the underlying cause of the anger. In each case anger management is tailored to the needs of the clients.
