About me and my therapy practice

Hi, my name is Emma and I am a counsellor from the Reading area.  I work with clients who suffer from all kinds of issues such as: anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, work-related stress, family issues, health issues.

I offer short and long-term counselling as well as offering flexible hours face to face in my home, online and via telephone.

What have previous clients said?

• "Emma really helped me to see things from another perspective. To think about my situation and focus on what I really needed to put my time and energy towards. That has been such a help and a really freeing process. I have recommended Emma to friends because having someone to offload life to or deal with hurts and life hang ups is just so valuable!" Client C

• "I survived this dark period of my life because of you. Your kindness will be with me always" Client P.

It is common to have periods of our lives where we need support.

I offer a welcoming, calm and non-judgemental space, for you to gently open up about what has been bothering you. It may be current issues or things relating to your past, e.g. empty nest, elderly relatives, marriage issues. We can explore these at your own pace and help you to reach a place of understanding and self-acceptance.

Training and Qualifications:

• CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

• CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies

• CPCAB Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills

My Previous career was in Primary Education for 25 years

I have worked for a charity in Reading and now have my own online private practice.

I am also a mother of a child on the Autism spectrum so have knowledge of what this entails as a parent dealing with the educational, legal and benefits systems.


Practice description

In our sessions, you will decide what you wish to bring no matter how big or small it seems. I will hear what you bring without judging and together we will explore your feelings about things happening today or from your past.

You may find past experiences have shaped the way you behave today, it is never too late to change your path going forward.

Counselling is generally a 'talking therapy' however, if you feel 'stuck' or are unable to put your finger on what is bothering you we can try different approaches such as role play, writing, drawing to see what comes up for you.

My previous experience working within Education for 25 years, means I have a few imaginative approaches up my sleeve should you need them!

Overall, the most important thing to 'take away' here is that counselling with me is 'your time' to work on yourself at 'your pace.'

I know from my own experience how life-changing counselling can be. Looking at my profile means you have made the first step to reach out and get help. Feel free to contact me for a booking. Help is a short phone call away where we can discuss any presenting issues before the first session. 


My first session

Prior to our first session I offer a 20 minute free introductory call where we will briefly chat about what brings you to therapy.
