About me and my therapy practice

Hello, thank you for taking a moment to look at my profile.

My name is Emily and I am a psychotherapist and counsellor.

If you are here, you are considering whether I might be the right person for you to work with - what might you want to know about me?

Perhaps the way I am trained, perhaps my qualifications, perhaps where I am based – but I suspect more importantly, you have to get a sense of whether you can trust me, rely on me and really get on with me – only then will you allow me the privilege of really getting to know you.

For some of you, learning to trust can already feel like a real challenge. Being seen may be difficult and painful. Especially if you haven’t experienced this in the past or if you have been let down before. If relationships have been uncertain, unpredictable, unsafe. Or if they have left you questioning yourself and your worth. I understand that, and I will work with you gently and relationally – using what happens in the room as a mirror to your world outside the room and to help you understand those relational patterns and try to move forward.

I have enjoyed working with a variety of clients from different walks of life. I have worked in prisons and in private practice.  My background is in criminal justice and this led me to delivering therapeutic group work, and later to counselling in prison where I worked with women coping with the aftermath of child loss and separation, and survivors of abusive experiences. I have worked with anxiety, depression, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, addictions, relationship and attachment challenges, and mental health diagnosis. I have training and experience of working with personality disorder.

 I work gently while holding you safely. I am serious without taking myself too seriously. I am not easily shocked, I am open minded and grounded but with plenty of energy. I look forward to learning about and getting to know you.


Practice description

I work using different modes of therapy – integrating different approaches and responding to what feels right for you. I am naturally more inclined to work using the past – and thinking about how this might have informed your present. Looking at what we might be holding unconsciously that can keep us stuck in repetitive patterns of behaviour and outdated self-beliefs.

I am trauma informed and work using psychoeducation to help you understand your experiences - not only by using talking therapy to make the unconscious conscious but also by looking at how our experiences might have shaped us biologically. This is especially important if you have a trauma related diagnosis but also if your emotions feel out of control and difficult to regulate. Clients have found this approach helpful, and normalising of their experiences.
