I think my problems are too many or too deep rooted to cover by this method, in all truth. But the crutch has been amazing!

More about Emma

Hello,

I am qualified and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I'm fully insured and have a current DBS.

I offer an unbiased, safe space, to think about your life - your past, present, future and relationships.

Some of my clients have said that they benefited from talking to someone that wasn't connected to them. It was easier to talk to someone that was impartial and not a friend or family member.

Are you feeling stressed, unhappy and depressed? Counselling might be helpful if you are feeling tearful, emotional and find you are thinking negatively. If you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck and unable to move forward then maybe it's time to explore any underlying issues that could be affecting your life.

Do you find you are falling back into unhealthy habits? Do you feel your emotions are out of control and you're easily upset, overwhelmed or frustrated?

If you are feeling as though you need to talk to someone then get in touch and we can see if we can work together.

Counselling offers a therapeutic relationship and the space and opportunity to discover more about yourself.

I work with individuals and couples.

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.

Emma is the most patient therapist. I have never been able to open up to anyone like I have Emma, in my past few sessions. I just want to take this moment to truely thank you. I wish that I could afford more sessions. I hope you’ve had a lovely break and relaxed just as you always taught me. We all need a break every now and again

Reviewed April 2022

Emma is amazing and so supportive. She is very knowledgeable and can share helpful insights but balances that very well with empathetic listening before jumping to any solutions. I've worked with several therapists in the past, and Emma stands out in showing that she genuinely cares, is very empathetic, and is attentive in listening. Appreciate her support and am glad to be working with her.
