About Emily
She offers straightforward support for common life challenges. That includes coping with big changes, parenting strains, relationship difficulties, and work-related stress. She also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, anger, and symptoms associated with ADHD and depression.
Emily adapts the way she works to each person. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs and wants to address. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in the room and encourages clients to set the pace.
Additional focus areas include body image, feelings of emptiness, isolation and issues tied to separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and difficulties around self-harm and self-love.
Her practice welcomes conversations about sexuality, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Emily aims to help people build practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about their next steps. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.
Person centred approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and relies on listening and understanding to help someone find their own way forward. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and navigating big life changes because it focuses on the person’s priorities and pace.Emily will work collaboratively to discover which approach suits you best. She will ask about your needs, goals and preferences, and adapt sessions so that the work feels relevant and manageable. Deciding how to proceed is an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed plan.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as these are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family life, work commitments and travel by removing the need to commute. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, or sessions without video if that feels more comfortable. Many people find that regular online appointments help keep momentum between sessions and support steady progress over time.
