Best for

This provider is best suited for adults and young people seeking accessible, compassionate therapy for common mental health and life issues. Typical clients include people experiencing anxiety, low mood or depression, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma, and those seeking support with neurodiversity-related challenges.

• People with anxiety, low mood or stress-related difficulties
• Those experiencing grief, relationship problems or trauma-related concerns
• Clients seeking support for neurodiversity (ADHD, autism), OCD, or substance-related problems

Approach

Emma works from an integrative framework, combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with person-centred and attachment-informed approaches. This blend allows her to address present-day difficulties with practical skills while exploring underlying relational patterns and past experiences that shape current behaviour.

Treatment typically begins with an extended assessment to establish goals, develop a therapeutic contract and agree a structure for sessions. Interventions are tailored to the individual’s needs and may include practical CBT techniques, reflective exploration, and relational work focused on attachment patterns.

Sessions are available in multiple formats—face-to-face at local venues (confirmed on booking), online via secure video, outdoor therapy in green spaces, and home-based visits when required. Emma offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on client goals.

Education and Training

The clinician holds a Master’s degree in Integrated Counselling and Psychotherapy (awarded with distinction) and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). This membership indicates adherence to BACP’s ethical framework and ongoing professional development.

Support

The practice emphasises safety, confidentiality and accessibility. Clients are given clear information about confidentiality limits, assessment procedures and the therapeutic contract during the first session. Emma prioritises a validating and inclusive environment and has experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, people with disabilities and those with lived experience of abuse or trauma.

Preparation and practical support are offered through an extended initial assessment (1.5 hours) which is free of charge, allowing time to agree goals, assess risk, and make any reasonable adjustments to support accessibility and convenience.
