Emma Collens

As a fully qualified integrative counsellor, I anchor my practice in the person-centered approach, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on warmth, compassion, respect, and trust. Within a confidential, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment, I offer you the space to explore your feelings, emotions and behavioral patterns at your own pace.

I have extensive professional and personal experience working with people with life changing chronic illnesses and disabilities including but not limited to;

• ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Fibromyalgia 
• Diabetes
• Arthritis
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Wheelchair users
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Cancer
• Gastrointestinal Disorders
• Visual Impairments
• Brain Injuries
• Spinal Injuries

Whether you're grappling with a diagnosis, awaiting one, or struggling to adapt to life with a disability, I'm here to help you navigate the intense emotions and challenges that accompany such circumstances. These emotions may include;

• Grief and Anger
• Relief and Sadness
• Hopelessness and Despair
• Frustration and Fear
• Depression and Loneliness

My dedication lies in empowering individuals facing these situations, supporting you in rebuilding shattered self-esteem, challenging negative and anxious thoughts that may be preventing you from reaching your potential and enjoying your life as well as fostering a sense of control amidst overwhelming changes. Together, we'll work towards rediscovering joy and embracing the possibilities within your new reality.

I also work with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger issues, family conflict, self harm, PTSD and trauma as well as complex personality disorders and those who identify as neurodivergent.

When you make contact with me we will arrange a no obligation initial consultation free of charge, at a mutually convenient time. In this consultation we can discuss your goals for therapy, what initially brought you to therapy and a little bit about yourself and what challenges you are currently facing.  You will also have the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have.  

If you chose to embark on your therapeutic journey with me, we can agree on a weekly day and time for you to attend therapy and you will be emailed my client counsellor contract to read over and discuss any issues/concerns you may have.
