More from Emma

Hello, I’m Emma. I am an Integrative Counsellor offering relationship counselling to couples, alongside individual therapy, with many years’ experience working across mental health settings.

My work is grounded in the belief that relationships can be a powerful source of healing, growth, and understanding, even during times of conflict, distance, or distress. I provide a supportive, calm, and non judgemental space where couples can explore their experiences, emotions, and patterns safely.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, person centred therapy, and emotionally focused approaches. This allows our work to be shaped around your relationship and what feels most helpful for you both.

Alongside my counselling work, I have over eighteen years’ experience working in mental health and social care. This includes supporting people in complex and high pressure environments, which has given me a strong understanding of emotional regulation, trauma, and relational dynamics. These experiences continue to inform my steady, thoughtful, and compassionate approach with couples today.

I work collaboratively, helping both partners feel heard and understood, even when conversations feel difficult. My aim is to support you in gaining deeper awareness, improving connection, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right for your relationship.


How I Can Help You

I offer a warm and structured space where you can explore your relationship openly and safely.

Together, we can:

• Improve communication and understanding between you
• Explore recurring patterns that may be causing conflict or distance
• Support emotional awareness and regulation during difficult conversations
• Understand how past experiences or attachment styles affect your relationship
• Rebuild trust, connection, and emotional closeness
• Support growth, healing, and change within your relationship

Sessions are balanced, respectful, and focused on helping you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
