She’s brilliant, she’s changed my life really. I’m a happier and more content, less chaotic person than I was before we met. You can’t believe that an hours conversation a week can do that, but it does

More about Emily

  • BACP

Are you experiencing an issue in your life that is having a negative impact on your everyday wellbeing? Counselling could be the gateway to finding a new way of working through whatever is causing difficulty, distress, confusion or overwhelm.

I am a qualified, BACP registered and experienced counsellor (MBACP) offering Person-Centred therapy to individuals. Over the course of my casework my clients have brought a range of issues, in particular addiction, depression, abuse, anxiety, bereavement, suicidal ideation, anger, relationship issues, low self-esteem, overwhelm and trauma.

How do I work?

I practise an integrative approach that is based on a Humanistic, Person-Centred, and Existential framework that also incorporates aspects of Mindfulness and working with awareness of the body in the present moment.

I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is crucial to the therapeutic process and so my aim is to provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where my clients can explore new ways of working with whatever they may be struggling with in order live their lives more fully.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
