About me
Hi,
My name is Emma
I’m a qualified integrative counsellor, offering a warm and supportive space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply.
I’ve always had a natural ability to tune into others and adapt to the people around me, while still maintaining a strong sense of who I am. This helps me to build genuine, trusting relationships with my clients.
My interest in counselling comes from a curiosity about why we think, feel, and relate in the ways we do — and how patterns from earlier experiences can continue to shape our lives.
In our work together, I’ll support you in exploring these patterns, helping you make sense of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Over time, this can lead to greater self-awareness, more choice, and meaningful change.
Clients often describe me as warm, understanding, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and able to be yourself — without judgement.
I’m an Accredited Member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), providing integrative therapy in Hawkhurst and online throughout the UK. I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

How we will work together
I work integratively, which means I tailor therapy to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. My work is informed by Transactional Analysis, alongside other therapeutic approaches, allowing us to focus on both:
Practical change in the here and now, and deeper self-understanding over time
Together, we might explore patterns in relationships, early experiences, inner critical voices, or ways of coping that once helped but may no longer serve you. We’ll always work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, with collaboration and choice at the heart of our work.
“You don’t need to have all the answers — just a willingness to begin."
"When you’re ready, I’m here to support you.”
You're in safe hands

Our work together
I work ethically and with integrity, placing your wellbeing, safety, and confidentiality at the heart of my practice. I follow the ethical framework and professional standards set by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and engage in regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure my work remains safe, reflective, and effective.
I believe therapy is a meaningful investment in yourself, and I bring the same commitment to growth into my own practice. Alongside working with clients, I continue to invest in my personal development through regular therapy, ongoing CPD, and Advanced Level 7 training at The Link Centre. Learning and self-reflection are central to how I work, and this dedication informs the care and support I offer in every session.
Clinical experience
Experience & Practice
I have worked in low-cost and community counselling settings, supporting clients with diverse life experiences and from varied cultural, social, and identity backgrounds. I have also volunteered as a counsellor providing emotional support to adults with caregiving responsibilities, helping them navigate stress, maintain wellbeing, and develop practical coping strategies.
In my private practice, I work online and in person, offering short- or long-term sessions tailored to each individual’s needs. I strive to provide a supportive, ethical, and reflective space where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight, and move towards the changes they want to see in their lives.
