Collaborative, Creative and Inclusive

About Me
Hello, I'm Emily.
I am a BACP-registered Integrative counsellor and FE lecturer of counselling theory and skills.
​
I offer person-centred, relational, and trauma-informed counselling for adults. It's important to me that i create a space where your experiences, identities, and ways of being are met with understanding, curiosity, and compassion.​
I am committed to ongoing learning, reflection, and self-care practices to ensure I show up fully for my clients.

Through my work and experience I see healing happen through connection and relationship — to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.

My Approach
I work from a relational and trauma-informed framework, integrating therapeutic approaches to meet each unique person and experience that is brought into the space. As an educator I embed psychoeducation into my practice to support an understanding of who and how we are.
​
I draw on Person-Centred, CBT, and Psychodynamic theories—including Transactional Analysis (TA)—to guide my work in exploring challenges and personal development. Alongside traditional talk therapy, I offer creative approaches including sandtray work to allow for deeper exploration.
​
My practice is neurodivergent, trans, queer, and gender non-conforming positive — you are welcome just as you are. With lived experience of neurodiversity, I embrace the beauty of difference, recognising that we all move through the world in our own way.
I actively work to create a diversity-affirming space, adapting my approach to honour the uniqueness of each person I support.
