About Emma
Hello, I’m Emma. I offer a warm, steady, and thoughtful approach to therapy, providing a gentle and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My practice is integrative, blending different therapeutic methods — including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — so that our work is tailored specifically to your unique needs and goals.
I believe in creating a safe, calm, and empathetic environment for both individuals and couples. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, relationship difficulties, or the impact of past experiences on your present life, my aim is to support you in gaining clarity and moving forward with increased confidence.
I also have experience supporting individuals and couples where ADHD or autism is part of their experience, whether formally diagnosed or self-identified. For couples, I can help you explore how neurodivergence may influence communication, emotional needs, expectations and the everyday dynamics of your relationship, helping you develop greater understanding and connection.
In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to help you understand your emotions, recognise patterns and develop the tools necessary for meaningful and lasting change. I am committed to creating a space where every person feels respected, understood and accepted, ensuring you can reflect and grow at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Before qualifying as a therapist, I supported individuals in secondary mental health services, forensic settings, and during Mental Health Act assessments. these roles provided me with a deep understanding of trauma, vulnerability, and the vital importance of compassionate, person-centred support.
Furthermore, I have extensive experience volunteering for charities supporting people with addictions and complex life experiences. My recent work with refugees has allowed me to receive specialised training in trauma-informed practice. These diverse professional experiences guide my grounded approach today, helping me support clients facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and personality-related difficulties.

“I was only able to afford one session but she listened to me carefully and asked one simple question about my addiction problem, it changed my whole view and week later I decided to give up on my addiction. It’s over 6 months now that I haven’t touched it and it’s a complete new life I’m experiencing at the moment and more hopeful about the future. She’ll be the first person I’ll get in touch when I need some support.”

“Going to therapy has really helped me understand and manage my emotions. I’ve learned how to express how I’m feeling when I need to, rather than avoiding or bottling things up. Emma was great at listening and guiding me through this process, always making me feel heard and understood. It’s been a really positive and valuable experience, and I feel much more comfortable being open about my emotions as a result.”

“I only met Emma once for my furat time teuing therapy. Emma was lovely and welcoming to her home. Unfortunately due to personal reason the timing just wasn't right for me. I am sure Emma will be amazing supporting others moving forward and maybe myself un the future.”

“From the very beginning Emma has created such a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where I feel genuinely listened to and understood. She’s been helping me to better understand and manage my neurodiversity, and the difference it’s made has been incredible. She has a way of explaining things that just make sense, while giving me practical tools and strategies that I can actually use in everyday life. Her kindness, patience, and encouragement have helped me build confidence and see myself with much more compassion. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, more understood, and better equipped to cope with whatever I’m facing.”
