I have only had a few sessions with Emma so far but she has been incredibly helpful and so supportive. I was a bit nervous to begin therapy but with Emma’s kind words, calm demeanour and plethora of knowledge, I have felt much more confident. I leave each session feeling hopeful. Thank you Emma!

I am a licenced counsellor/psychotherapist in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping both adult and teenage clients with a range of issues, some of these include depression, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, career difficulties, sexuality, and grief and bereavement.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I will be there to walk alongside you while you explore these difficult problems and will provide a safe confidential space in which you can do this.
I am a person centred counsellor believing that everyone has the ability to develop and grow given the right space. I also work on goal setting and can help you look at what you would like to gain out of therapy and how we can look at setting those achievable goals together.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy is extremely brave I am proud of you for getting started! Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your journey and how I can help you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
