Registered Psychotherapist

What type of therapist are you?
I am an integrative relational psychotherapist, which means I draw on several approaches rather than just one. This allows me to be flexible and tailor therapy to your needs. My main approaches include humanistic, psychodynamic, short-term brief therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and gestalt. If you’d like to know more about these approaches, you’re welcome to ask me.
Together, we’ll explore your experiences in depth and find ways forward through talking therapy. I work in a supportive, non-judgmental way and am proud to be a neurodiversity-affirming therapist.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which means I meet high standards of proficiency, professionalism, and ethical practice. I completed a BACP-accredited course.
I offer remote therapy from Surrey for clients across the UK and, in certain circumstances, internationally. I also offer in-person therapy in Surbiton, Greater London.

Client testimonials
“Emily was lovely and had such a calm, soothing way about her. She really listened to what I had to say.”
“She helped me think about things in a different way and gave me ideas to help me cope.”
“My sessions with you have given me the strength to navigate the current situation in a positive way.”
“Emily showed great skill and care building a trusting therapeutic relationship with our teenage son and supporting him to engage with a range of difficult issues, including those relating to his (late-diagnosed) autism. I’d recommend Emily unreservedly.”

In-person sessions are held a stones throw from Surbiton train station in my calm, modern room.

What can you help with?
Pyschotherapy can help with many different problems. From relationship difficulties, parenting stress and burnout, to social anxiety and grief. Therapy provides a space to talk through what’s impacting you and supports you in finding better ways to deal with life’s challenges. It is also a form of personal development, in that it’s not just a place to come when you’re at your lowest; you may feel stable but want to improve your emotional intelligence and assertiveness. I often offer some psychoeducation so that you can learn more about how to regulate your emotions.
Would you prefer online therapy?
Do you want to have therapy from the comfort of your own home? Stuck at home for medical reasons? You can avoid travel or parking costs by working online. Or maybe you travel a lot and would like to access therapy whilst you’re away.
Online therapy is far more convenient and studies show it’s just as effective as in-person therapy. You may find it easier to share things with people online, there’s more anonymity.
