Emily Grant

*Please note I am not currently available to take on new clients. 

I’m Emily and I am an integrative trauma based counsellor with a preference for a person-centred approach. This means that I draw on different techniques and approaches to counselling depending on your individual needs. I also offer EMDR trauma therapy and CBT. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and I hold an MSc in Counselling Psychology. I offer both individual and couples counselling. I also work as a supervisor for other counsellors.

Issues I have worked with include; depression, anxiety, loss, anger, suicide, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, and many others. I have spent many years working closely with trauma, including survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse.

I work with couples experiencing difficulties in many aspects of their relationships, such as infidelity, communication break down and sexual issues. I am passionate about and have extensive experience within the LGBTQ+ community and working with ethical non monogamy. I can also help couples to find an amicable end to a relationship.

Perhaps your difficulties are less specific and you’re just feeling a little lost, stuck in a rut, or struggling to make difficult decisions. If so, I can help you to get to a better place. We can work together to achieve your goals and make a difference to your life. No problem is too big or too small and I believe counselling is a great way of really getting to know yourself, which can be frightening at first but is ultimately very liberating.

I offer you a safe space, free of any judgement. I pride myself on my down to earth attitude and my honesty. My counselling room is comfortable and private, easy to access with free parking on site.

I am flexible in terms of availability and I am able to offer evening appointments. Please contact me for a free and confidential telephone consultation or more information. I am offering face to face, online and telephone sessions.

I’m Emily I am a qualified supervisor, I use the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision and take a holistic approach to supervision. In supervision, we might explore the relationships between you, your clients, and myself - looking at how these influence each other. We can also consider personal and professional issues, ethical dilemmas, organisational and policy requirements and anything else that might require reflection to support your development as an effective practitioner.

I believe supervision is a collaborative effort, and I aim to work with you openly and honestly to create a supportive environment where you feel safe to explore your client work. I am not the expert and I enjoy the diversity of experience and viewpoints that are rich in the supervisory relationship. It is so important to be able to tell your supervisor when you think you’ve made a mistake, and not feel that you have to censor yourself for fear of criticism. We all make mistakes or feel we could have done things differently from time to time, and acknowledging and learning from this is key to becoming the best counsellor you can be.

Most of my current availability is online on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but I do have some limited availability for face to face sessions on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. As well as counselling supervision, I offer supervision to all professionals. Working online means I am able to offer supervision cross country or internationally.

My rate is £55 an hour or for student counsellors £50. I offer a free 30 minute consultation, either on the phone or online, so get in touch to arrange this. I look forward to hearing from you!
