I work integratively – tailoring sessions to what best serves your individual needs. My core training is rooted in Psychodynamic Therapy — which means I’m interested in your unconscious processes and beliefs, with a focus on the past, and often early experiences. The idea is that these have shaped how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others today – and this understanding helps us to work through difficult emotions, unresolved conflicts, and patterns of behaviour that may be holding you back. At the same time, I draw on more behavioural based ways of working such as CBT where we will take a more active look at the link between your thoughts/beliefs – feelings/emotions and the resulting problematic behaviours. We might think about cognitive restructuring (catching and examining automatic anxious thoughts), behavioural experiments, or worry exposure (often used for OCD). I believe a combination of these approaches, and the flexibility to use both modalities, is the most effective in relieving suffering and helping to create a life with greater emotional well-being, resilience, healthier relationships and a more secure sense of self.

I’m Emma, a qualified and experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, with many years in practice working with adults on a broad range of issues.
Often, clients come to me feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety and worry, weighed down by depression or anger, carrying unresolved trauma, or struggling to navigate complicated relationships.
I provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space where we can start to make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin the path to a better functioning and more fulfilling life.
