Hello...

I'm Emily, I work 1-1 with adults experiencing common mental-health problems including; anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relational issues, grief and loss.

I am here to help you get to know yourself and explore the ways in which you exist within and relate to the world around you. I offer a compassionate and welcoming space where you can feel seen, heard and accepted as yourself. Together, we can explore the reasons that brought you to therapy and begin to unpack your current and historical thought processes and behavioural patterns. Counselling is not about giving you solutions or advice, instead the aim is to empower you to make your own choices and changes.

Therapy with me...

I truly believe that a safe therapeutic relationship can be a catalyst for healing and that the power of human connection should never be underestimated. I integrate different modalities and theory into my practice including:

Attachment Theory - this explores how people form emotional bonds, especially with their primary caregivers during infancy and how this can influence their relationships as adults.

Polyvagal Theory - this looks at how the nervous system influences emotion regulation, social connection and fear responses.

Existential Psychotherapy - this uses philosophical ideas to help people understand their place in the world. It focuses on the human condition and the choices people make about how they live their lives.

Experience

I trained for four years at The Minster Centre in London, one of the longest established and leading Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling training institutions in Europe.

My integrative training means I use a variety of different therapeutic modalities and clinical theory to best suit the needs of my clients. Whilst I may integrate theory and tools from these approaches into our work, my focus will be on creating a warm and empathetic environment for us to build a safe therapeutic relationship.

I have been a bereavement counsellor for three years and continue to see clients through the Wandsworth Bereavement Service in London.

I am an ambassador for a UK based suicide bereavement charity and for the past five years I have worked for a mental health charity in London.

Areas of Expertise

I have a particular interest in working with loss, death and grief; as well as issues around self-esteem and relationships. I welcome adults of all ages.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirmative and I welcome clients from all backgrounds.

If you need a specialist, I am able to offer therapy to people who are affected by Neurodivergence
