Welcome – I’m glad you’re here! I am Emma and welcome to my website.
I offer online and phone sessions worldwide. I offer counselling and psychotherapy and EMDR. I also offer clinical supervision to trainees counsellors and qualified professionals.
I work eclectically with Person-Centred Theory at the core, placing you as the expert in your own life and empowering you to find your own solutions. I tailor my approach to each individual, blending creativity, visual tools, and psychoeducation, adapting to individual needs. Therapy is a space to pause, to reflect, breathe, and focus on yourself. In our work together there’s room to explore what feels stuck, painful, confusing or heavy. To understand old patterns, and to find steadiness when life feels uncertain. We might explore the past, or focus on what’s happening right now. I aim to be present and real with you. Someone who listens closely, asks questions, and helps you see things from new angles. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin; therapy can be a place to unpack the things you don't understand.
Many people live with a nervous system that feels more easily overwhelmed. You might notice that stress, sensory input, or social interaction can quickly tip you into anxiety, agitation, or shutdown. This experience is often described as having a narrower window of tolerance: a smaller range in which the nervous system feels settled, flexible, and able to cope.
My work draws on Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. This framework explains how our autonomic nervous system continually scans for safety and influences how we respond: socially, emotionally, and physically.
In simple terms, our nervous system moves between three states:
This can mean moving into hyperarousal or hypoarousal more quickly, and it may take longer or more support to come back to regulation. However, there is wide individual variation, and environment makes a big difference: supportive, sensory-aware, autonomy-respecting contexts can effectively “widen” someone’s window over time, whereas chronic stress, invalidation, or inaccessible environments can narrow it further. In therapy, we can explore simple, sensory-friendly ways to help your nervous system find calm, tailored to what feels right for you.

My role is to work alongside you non-judgementally, with empathy, curiosity, and care to help you make sense of your experiences and celebrate your strengths.

I value diversity in all its forms. I was raised in a neurodivergent mixed heritage family in London, United Kingdom. I strive to ensure non-discrimination and inclusivity. I am neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming and I am anti-racist. I acknowledge the places where I hold privilege, power, and biases and I am committed to working on these. I am also committed to on going learning, continued professional development, training and clinical supervision to continue to grow and develop as a practitioner and human being.
“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”― Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being
