COUPLES/FAMILY THERAPY

My time working with Emma has been exhilarating, challenging, surprising and liberating. It was not easy to look at past relationships and unpick the complicated layers, examining  the ways in which we are impacted by those closest to us. Delving deeper, discovering how we repeat so much of what we have absorbed and pass on both the positive and negative aspects of ourselves. I guess, for me, working with Emma, provided a safe environment, where I could disentangle myself, start to see who I was without the constrictions my relationships, particularly with my mum who died five years ago. In going through this hard process with Emma, I was able to  land in a place where I could accept my mother’s flaws, love her for what she gave me as a mother and admire her, without resentment, as a woman in the world. This indeed was a gift. Emma helped me shut some windows and open doors to other, more peaceful and constructive adventures.

When I first approached Emma I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I knew I needed help but didn’t know where to start.

It hasn’t all been easy, being truly honest with yourself never is, but being challenged in unexpected ways and allowed to open up to feelings I’d repressed for far too long has helped me grow in ways I hadn’t thought possible.

Week by week I opened up a little more and with Emma’s insights and guidance helped me to spot destructive patterns of behaviour and the reasons that drove me to act that way in the first place.

I can’t thank you enough for the work we’ve done, I know it’s a bit cliché, but you don’t realise how far you’ve come until you look back… but only because it’s true.

I’m definitely one of those people that thought I’d never get therapy, but I’m now so glad I’ve given my mental health an MOT with Emma.

I was always able to speak freely and authentically whilst Emma seamlessly broke everything down, dug deeper into each topic with sensitivity and purpose, and helped me get to the roots of all the issues we covered.

Since seeing Emma I have achieved all the goals I set out to accomplish, one of which was to finally set up my own business. I don’t think I would have done this without Emma’s help. Thank you!

It is no exaggeration to say that Emma has had a real and noticeable impact on me and my life. She has helped me begin to understand how my mind works, how my past has affected me in so many ways and how I can try to approach my future. Emma has helped me connect dots I didn’t even know may be connected.

I had never seen a therapist before and was worried at first about what it would be like. Emma challenged me and my expectations from the outset, which threw me off initially and made me a bit uncertain, but really paid off in the long run. I would hand on heart recommend Emma to others looking for an excellent therapist.

Emma has been very helpful bringing some internal issues to the forefront. It has not been an easy process but her perseverance has kept me engaged and stimulated me to push through it.

I now have a better understanding of myself and feel something has changed in me that I want to continue developing.

I would recommend Emma to all my friends and acquaintances if they were looking for a therapist.

I was nervous at my first meeting with Emma. However by the end of that first session, I realised that Emma was someone that I could work with. She put me at ease and was easy to talk to.

Emma has helped me so much. I’ve been able to move forward with things in my life that I never would have been able to achieve without her help and dedication to me as a client. I will always be indebted to her!

Staying true to her desire to help others, Emma combines her years of experience working in Human Resources Management, together with her professional training as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, and Relational Psychotherapist to facilitate wholeness and transformation of the self.

Emma tailors her therapy to meet individual needs and provides a safe, secure, confidential and supportive environment to successfully facilitate transformation, helping her clients to experience that sense of awareness and freedom to make life choices.

I found Emma’s’ skill and professionalism exceptional. She ensures you have the space to work through things, whilst at the same time giving you a feeling of safety and security. I highly recommend Emma as a therapist.

During a very difficult moment in my adult life, I found Emma online at the counselling directory and read up on her qualifications and reviews.

Emma made it very comfortable to access and discuss my emotions, insecurities and areas of my personality I wasn’t comfortable or happy with during a breakdown in a relationship.

Emma was firm, fair, great at listening and professional at all times. I found the entire process a huge release from day to day stress as well a period of a breakdown in a relationship.

I would recommend Emma to anyone going through any kind of difficulty to engage in her therapy.
