Counselling & Psychotherapy in
Central London
& Brighton
A confidential space to explore the
thoughts, feelings and challenges in
your life
Welcome
I’m Emma and I offer psychotherapy and counselling for adults seeking support with emotional, relational and psychological difficulties.
I practice confidential psychotherapy in Central London and Brighton, with sessions available near Baker Street in Marylebone, near London Bridge, and in Brighton and Hove, as well as online therapy across the UK.
Many people look for therapy or counselling when they are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward.
As your therapist, I can provide you with a thoughtful and supportive space to reflect, understand patterns in your life, and create meaningful change.
Why Therapy?
Psychotherapy and counselling offer a unique opportunity to understand yourself more fully and consider how you want to live.
At different points in our lives, due to any number of challenges, we can feel overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain.
In my practice, I work with a range of concerns, including:
• Relationship difficulties
• Anxiety and depression
• Trauma (relational, developmental, sexual, intergenerational)
• Stress and burnout
• Perfectionism and feeling “not good enough”
• Life transitions and parenting
• Gender and sexuality
• Neurodivergence
• Cultural identity, dual heritage, and expatriate experience
Psychotherapy creates space to:
• understand emotional patterns
• explore the impact of past experiences
• improve relationships
• develop resilience and emotional awareness
I am here to guide and support you through this process so that you can understand your problems, begin to change and move forward with a greater sense of choice and freedom.
Please feel free to contact me by phone or email, to book an initial session, ask any questions or book a free 15-minute introductory call.

Therapy With Me
Registered Integrative Therapist
I am a fully qualified and registered Member of the BACP (The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a leading professional association for therapists in the UK, and I abide by their code of ethics.
I hold an MA in Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre, the leading Integrative training centre in the UK.
I work collaboratively, alongside you, offering psychological perspective and expanded awareness of your thoughts and feelings. I aim to bring warmth, curiosity, and a degree of thoughtful challenge to our work together. The therapeutic relationship is central to the success of therapy — I value openness, responsiveness, and pay careful attention to what you bring to each session.
My approach to psychotherapy and counselling is gentle but direct, integrating attention to both mind and body. This helps us to explore deeper patterns in your emotional life and relationships.
When therapy is effective it can support:
• trauma processing and emotional healing
• improved coping with anxiety and stress
• shifts in relationship patterns
• increased self-compassion
I particularly enjoy supporting clients in discovering deeper purpose, creativity, and a stronger sense of potential.
My practice is diverse and I am sensitive to social, sexual and cultural difference, gender identity and neurodiversity.
My Clients
People often realise they need therapy due to challenges or blocks in relationships, friendships or work. These are often the areas where we first notice we have some personal, internal work to do. These general issues may incorporate or link to the following:
Demanding job role, work stress and/or burnout
I have worked extensively with people in high-pressure professions who may be thinking about shifting career, finding a better work-life balance, or changing their relationship with perfectionism and professional pressure.
Creatives
I work well with creative people of all kinds who want to explore their own creative process and navigate different aspects of their work such as:
work pressure, collaborations, imposter syndrome, creative block or direction of work.
Identity & Culture
I welcome people who are curious about or questioning aspects of their gender, sexuality or relationships. I also value my work with clients who are exploring their own neurodiversity and what this means for them. I am experienced in working with clients from different cultures who may be reflecting on identity, discrimination, racism, expatriate experience or dual heritage.
Trauma & Attachment
Very often, aspects of our past come to the fore in our problems. I’ve worked extensively with relational trauma; sexual abuse or assault; intergenerational trauma; family mental illness; parental/family conflict and attachment.
Trainee Therapists and Students
My Approach and Training
I am an integrative psychotherapist holding an MA in Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre, the leading integrative training institution in the UK.
My approach draws from:
Psychodynamic
Exploring unconscious processes, early experience, and recurring relational patterns to support greater flexibility and agency.
Embodied Practice:
Involving awareness of the body in therapy helps us work through conflict on a deep level and tap into all our internal resources, to enable deep change, repair and healing. This process helps us to listen to ourselves with less judgement, more compassion, greater curiosity and it can lead us to more creative solutions. This can be particularly helpful when working with trauma and dissociation but can also give new perspectives on any situation that has felt stuck for a long time.
Person-centred and Existential Practice:
This is deep, empathetic work that keeps the focus on the present moment, exploring meaning and purpose in your life. I value someone’s own individual truth and particular experience, and I sometimes find that too much theory can get in the way of this understanding, so this unique unfolding process is always my first point of reference.
Attachment and Relational Practice:
Attachment is played out in the mind and the body, through generations. Here we look at aspects of transgenerational influences, and how very early experiences are imprinted on the here and now.
Trauma-informed Practice:
This approach is integrated into every aspect of my work, ensuring that I come from a place of focusing on what has happened to you and how that impacts you, not on what’s ‘wrong’ with you.
