Emily Hutchinson

I currently only work online due to a relocation, although this can feel different to in-person sessions, it also removes the restriction of location and makes me available to anyone, globally. 

Hello, I'm Emily, I have worked with children and adults in mental health for over a decade. There are all kinds of reasons people seek out therapy, it can be a source of support and a safe space to nurture growth and healing. I work in both traditional and non-traditional ways and as well as having years of experience within clinical and statutory settings, I have also maintained a focus on wellbeing from a more holistic and sometimes creative perspective, including through nature connection and ecopsychology. 

My primary modality is person-centred, however I also fluidly introduce other modalities depending on the individual and how they like to work. 

Beyond the jargon, what can you expect from me?
The core values of my practice focus on kindness, empathy and non-judgment. I hope I provide a space in which a person feels accepted and heard, somewhere that is non-clinical and has the potential to be a spring board into a fulfilling and healthy life.

I encourage you to explore my website which explains a lot more about who I am, what I do and may give you a better sense of compatibility. 

Before our first session, I offer a free initial assessment (a 15 minute conversation over the phone or online), which provides an opportunity for us to meet each other, ask any questions and get a better sense of suitability. If we are both happy to move forward, we will arrange our first session. 

In our first session we will start by discussing together our agreement and confidentiality. I do not ask anyone to complete an assessment as I practice a humanistic approach.
