About

I’m Emily, a qualified counsellor and play therapist with over 8 years of experience working with mental health. I first started as a play therapist, but also wanting to expand my practice by training as a counsellor working with adults and adolescents too!

My Approach:

In my counselling practice I aim to offer a compassionate space, working with an integrative approach. This means that I work with a few different modalities of counselling in a way that fits the individual client. The approaches that I work most with are person-centred, CBT and psychodynamic. I sometimes also incorporate some creative tools too, as these can be a helpful way to access inner feelings and emotions that we may not have access to or the words for.
