“When I started working with Emma I was struggling with anxiety, exacerbated by the pandemic but mainly due to past issues that I hadn’t resolved. I wanted to choose a therapist carefully having had mixed experiences in the past. I feel really lucky that I found Emma as she’s helped with many of the issues I knew needed dealing with and various other things that I hadn’t properly understood were also going on. Her approach is very kind and non-judgemental but she’s also clearly very skilled and knowledgeable about different techniques and ways to approach complex situations. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a therapist - working with her over the past year has made an enormous difference to me.” R
“Before I started counselling, I was nervous to face up to my emotions and when I first met Emma I felt completely at ease. Emma has a way of bringing in other perspectives and ideas to a situation, while still remaining warm and kind. Emma has helped me to connect emotions through different aspects of my life that I previously saw as disconnected. This has helped me to start to uncover the root causes of my feelings and start to deal with them. If you are looking for a non-judgemental, thoughtful, intelligent and compassionate counsellor, then I would highly recommend Emma.” P
“It’s been such a valuable and important experience and I feel ready to face the next chapter in my life armed with a better understanding of and connection to myself.” A
“From the start, therapy with Emma has been a place of safety. She has created a space of trust and compassion, without judgement, where for the first time I have been able to be open about all of the things I was hiding and ashamed of. I cannot overstate just how important this has been to me. A weight I’ve been carrying for so long has lifted. I haven’t been pressured or poked. Instead, we have explored and uncovered the situation as it is, and worked on how it could be, at my own pace. My own issues are deep seated, with panic that I’ve experienced since childhood. Unpacking this has taken real emotional work, and continues to do so. But my understanding of myself has transformed, and by learning to work with myself, not against myself, I have made real, significant and sustainable progress in a way I wasn’t sure was possible. This holistic understanding, which I was previously wary of, has also been a huge and unexpected boost to other aspects of my life, particularly helping with some challenging family and relationship issues that I hadn’t properly dealt with. Ultimately, the more work I do and understanding I gain, the more I make the foundations of my life stronger. Therapy with Emma has transformed my life. She has been a lighthouse in the storm, and for the first time I am able to work with myself as I am and take control of my life.” M
“Emma’s warm and welcoming weekly sessions have been a great point of support over what have been some difficult times in the past few months. I've found our sessions really grounding and very comforting. She’s helped me in sorting through my thoughts and feelings and processing my emotions as well as helping me better understand what my boundaries are and how to communicate them. Most of all Emma has helped me develop a better outlook on how I treat and view myself, encouraging me to treat myself with kindness and compassion and helping me develop a stronger sense of self, security, and stability.” L
