Hi there, I’m Emma! I’m here to sit alongside you to explore whatever it is that you want to explore.

Everyone experiences life, and the curve balls it sends us, in different ways. You may be experiencing a whole host of different stressors and want to work to understand these more deeply: relationship difficulties, abuse, loss, unresolved issues left over from childhood and upbringing, parenthood, feelings of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression or anything and everything in between. Whatever the reason, our work will be centred on you and the outcomes you wish to achieve. I can sit alongside you and hold a space to help you explore and understand those things.

Let’s move forward together.

I am an integrative, humanistic counsellor- what this means is that our work together might involve different therapeutic approaches based on your wants and needs. I work relationally and so we can work together to explore the difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are having an effect on you. There are a variety of different techniques taken from different areas of counselling therapies that we could use: person centred therapy, existentialism, gestalt, mindfulness practices, emotion focussed therapy and creativity.

Our space together will be built on trust, safe, secure, and free from judgement where you can be yourself and bring whatever you need to bring. My aim is for you to feel safe, seen, heard and validated.

I can work with a wide range of mental health difficulties and am experienced in work with depression, anxiety, substance use, abuse, trauma and the emotional side of physical health difficulties.

Since becoming a qualified counsellor, I have become certified in:

- Walking/outdoor therapy (CPCAB certification)

- Therapy for pregnancy and infant loss (foundation for infant loss certified)

- Therapy for pregnancy after loss (foundation for infant loss certified)

- Therapy for infertility and not having a child (foundation for infant loss certified)

I am a Swansea based counsellor (but am online, so can see you from wherever you are). In addition to private counselling sessions I also offer sessional counselling within an organisation. Within this, I work with self-referred clients, clients referred from the work place (EAP- Employment Assistance Programme), project specific clients (bereavement and substance use projects)

I am also a counselling tutor for a local counselling training provider. Tutoring students who are currently in the process of qualifying as a counsellor themselves.

It is my personal belief that with the right environment, support and conditions,  a person can improve their mental and emotional wellbeing and move forward in a more positive way (whatever that looks like for them). I believe that when this is the case that a person can cultivate skills and techniques to be able to maintain this more optimal state of wellbeing. This makes progress more long lasting and resilience stronger. This means that a person’s interactions and involvement in their own and wider life is enhanced, more present and more authentic.

I know that, for many people, it can be quite scary to start this kind of work with someone, especially if this is your first experience of counselling. As such, I am happy to answer any questions you might have either by email or phone.

In order for you to decide whether you feel we are a suitable fit, I can offer a free introductory 15-minute discussion either by phone, online or face to face. During this session, if you feel you’d like to go ahead, we can discuss how you'd like to proceed and how your sessions might look for you. I also offer concessionary rates subject to discussion

If you feel you would like to book an assessment then we can meet each other and decide whether we can work together. In this case, please feel free to call and make a booking.
