Emma Wiley

There are many counsellors available but finding the right one for you is important. I am a qualified therapist and have experience in working with adults, adolescents and couples with a range of issues. I offer my clients warmth and a safe space to explore difficulties whilst helping them to find the best way forward. Please feel free to call me for a free telephone consultation to discuss any queries or concerns. I offer in-person and online counselling.

I am a qualified integrative therapist using different modalities including CBT and humanistic therapies. My core approach is person centred because I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and counsellor - if the therapeutic relationship is good then you will feel safe and comfortable sharing your feelings with someone you trust.

I make it my priority to put you at ease and offer you a space where you can be yourself and share your innermost worries and fears.

I understand the complexity of being human and have respect for my clients' individuality and life circumstances.

I offer you true empathy and understanding and listen without judgement. I will challenge you where needed and help you to thrive in life, despite the issues that have brought you to counselling.

I am a registered member of the BACP and have experience with a diverse range of clients including Adults, Adolescents, Couples and LGBTQ+ with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family problems, abuse, anger, health anxiety, social anxiety, self-esteem, sexuality, grief, reduced confidence, work-related stress, addiction, sexual issues, trauma and many more.

As well as my private practice, I have counselled families in crisis at Southend Borough Council and worked for a local homeless project helping addicts in recovery. I have also worked as a school counsellor at a local secondary school.
