Why Counselling?
Perhaps you've found yourself on my listing because you are experiencing problems in your family or romantic relationships, going through a relationship breakdown or struggling to maintain a loving relationship and be ready to talk to someone to understand why. ​
​
Are you looking to improve your self-esteem, to stop self-destructive patterns of behaviour and make some changes in your life?
​
Are you feeling stuck? Anxious? lost and confused? unsure which way to turn?
Maybe unhealed childhood trauma is holding you back from living the life you deserve. Sometimes past events can keep affecting us for a long time, and I can help you to explore, unravel and make sense of that in order to move forward.
I can help you work through whatever is going on for you and to help you live a more fulfilling life.
How I can help you
I am an accredited professional Integrative counsellor (to be accredited means I have been assessed and demonstrated a high standard of knowledge, experience and development in counselling and psychotherapy) which means that you are the sole focus of the work we do together, and I will draw upon different methods to find the best possible way to help you. I will take your lead and work with you in a way which suits you best. I do not believe that one approach fits all and I will work with you to find a way that works for you.
I use a non-directive approach (I am not going to tell you what to do - counsellors do not do that and this would not be in your best interest), I work this way in order to understand your world through your eyes.
I have worked with adult and childhood trauma, anxiety, relationship breakdown, self-destructive behaviour/cycles of behaviour, disordered and emotional eating, low self-esteem and bereavement.
I work with ages 18+ face to face or online.
Next steps
Please contact me either by email at emmakellycounselling@hotmail.com or by phone/text on 07933957478.
We can then arrange to have a free 10-15 minute telephone conversation (should you want this). This will be an informal chat about what you are wanting from counselling so that you can get an idea of what counselling is and decide if I am the right counsellor for you. If after that you feel you would like to go ahead, then we can make a suitable appointment either in person, over the phone or online. I do not expect you to go into full detail over the phone and there is absolutely no obligation to book an appointment and I will leave this completely up to you.
Alternatively, you can just drop me an email or text message and we can arrange a session
