EMMA'S THERAPY SPACE
Counselling and psychotherapy
a space for reflection and change
Welcome...
Hello, I’m Emma and I’m a UKCP-registered, qualified psychotherapist providing online counselling and psychotherapy for those having difficulties with their lives, struggling to cope, or who are looking to make positive changes.
Sometimes time can help us to get over difficult life experiences and find a clear way forward. But sometimes we feel stuck and don’t know how to get back on track. When we’re not sure of our next step, talking to a therapist can be a helpful avenue of support.
I work with adult individuals within a safe and confidential space for self-exploration and growth. Creating a working relationship that allows clients to be fully heard, without judgement, I help to foster the ability to access their inner resources and to find their own means for change.
Each person’s circumstances are different and their issues are very personal to them. I’m happy to discuss whether I can be of help to you.
Some of the areas I've worked with include:
Anxiety
Depression
Bullying
Work-related Difficulties
Mood Swings
Stress
Anger
Abuse
Low Self-esteem
Relationships & Family Issues
Life Transitions
Bereavement & Loss
Suicidal Thoughts
Trauma
Shame
Loneliness
Chronic Illness
Sexuality
Reaching out for help can feel daunting – particularly if you don’t know what to expect.
Please feel free to explore this website and find out more about therapy and how I work. If you think you’d like some sessions, please contact me to arrange an initial assessment and consultation.

How is the summer affecting your mental health?
We’re in summer – traditionally a time for rest and relaxation. When the weather is sunny it can lift the mood and energy levels, and bring something of a holiday vibe. The prospect of a summer break can feel such a boost; a welcome shift from the preceding shorter and colder months. Increased opportunities to socialise may be something that you relish, and can be a really helpful way to bolster your wellbeing, while enjoying the activities you like the most. But although the extra-long days and warmer weather can be a cause for celebration and reinvigoration for some, others don’t welcome it with quite such open arms. Not everyone gets the chance to get that break. And if you’re someone who finds it hard to socialise, it can feel as if everyone else is having all the fun.
​
​Heat and humidity may also be wearing, making it much less easy to sleep. If you’re someone who finds it difficult to drift off or stay asleep when the nights are hot, it’s exhausting – and can feel the last straw if you’re already having difficulties with your mental health. Practising good sleep hygiene may be of some help (https://www.nhs.uk/every-mind-matters/mental-wellbeing-tips/how-to-fall-asleep-faster-and-sleep-better/), but if you’re finding your thoughts are spiralling, and they tend to circle back to the same themes, it may also be of help to talk to someone. There are places to reach out to. If you’re considering speaking to a therapist, I’d be happy to hear from you.
