Hi, I’m Emily, an accredited Psychological Therapist with experience of supporting people facing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I enjoy helping people better understand themselves, develop practical skills, and create meaningful and lasting change to the way they feel.

Throughout my career to date, I've worked across both mental and physical health services, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, trauma, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and the emotional impact of life's challenges.

With over 15 years’ experience working in mental health and over 10 years working within physical health settings, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals – from professionals, veterans and generally people navigating challenges to their health, to young people facing anxiety within a college setting and new parents seeking support from a mental health charity.

I'm predominantly trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I integrate elements of Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to enhance the sessions further, keeping them tailored to you and your goals.

As a Senior Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in a community pain management team, I developed specialist expertise in supporting people living with chronic pain, helping them manage the day-to-day challenges of their condition, not only the physical symptoms, but the emotional, psychological, and social challenges that come with them. I’ve worked closely with individuals who felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life they once knew, helping them find ways to move forward with greater understanding and self-compassion.

I also work within a multidisciplinary team led by a Cardiologist, supporting people to reduce their risk of heart disease through stress management, improving quality of sleep and making sustainable lifestyle changes.

Throughout my career, I've delivered workshops and group courses, but my focus has always been, and remains, on working with individuals one-to-one, approaching each person with a plan that fits their unique needs and circumstances. Whether you're facing the daily challenges of chronic pain, managing stress, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, my work focuses on helping you understand, navigate and manage your thoughts, emotions and behaviours in order to help you feel better in yourself.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and walking my dog in the countryside; moments that help keep me grounded and connected to what matters most.
