My Ethos

Hi, I’m Emily. I will be your counsellor throughout your journey!

 

I have an enhanced DBS check and I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

 

I adopt an integrative approach, drawing on different theories so that my treatment is tailored to fit your needs. I’m adaptive in my methods and whether that is using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centred Theory (PCT) or other creative arts – it is what works best for you.

 

I work with both adults and young people and have experience of working in schools as well as adult agencies.

 

I am based in Rochford, Essex but can offer sessions face to face, over the phone or

online and have also done additional training in this regard.

​​

Not had counselling before?  Imagine a space where your thoughts and feelings are not just heard, but truly recognised and validated - a safe place where you can explore the depths of your emotions without fear of judgment. I am here to meet you right where you are now and together we will work at your pace.

​

I believe in the transformative power of genuine human connection. My approach is rooted in the understanding that each individual possesses the innate capacity for growth and self-discovery. By creating a safe, non-judgmental space, I empower my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. With a focus on empathy and active listening, I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship that encourages openness and vulnerability, allowing clients to uncover their true selves and navigate life's challenges with confidence.

​

Life can be challenging and feel overwhelming at times. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone is doing the best they can, in the circumstances that they have been given.  Carl Rogers, the founder of PCT, beautifully articulated this idea: “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
