My name is Emma Kelly I am an Accredited Professional, fully qualified counsellor; based in the quiet village of Rippingale (near Bourne) (to be accredited means I have been assessed and demonstrated a high standard of knowledge, experience and development in counselling and psychotherapy).

​

I am an empathic counsellor who is very grounded and down to earth, I love my job and am incredibly passionate about helping people. I am open minded, non judgmental and have an enthusiasm for life, in addition to appreciating a sense of humour.

​

I offer face-to-face counselling, in a discreet and relaxing counselling space, as well as online counselling .

​A great deal of my experience involves working within the criminal justice system for 10 years, working with teenagers, young and older adults. I also have experience of working for charities such as the RNIB, Little Miracles and in the civil service and private sector.

​

Before becoming self-employed, I worked as a counsellor for Little Miracles in Peterborough. Here I worked with both adolescents and parents of children with ADHD and Autism. 

​I am non-judgmental, here to listen and support you during your counselling journey and hope to build a trusting relationship with you. I offer long or short-term counselling and will work with you for as long as you need. Counselling is not always quick fix but the effects can last a lifetime and be life changing.

​I am extremely passionate about what I do, and counselling has been my dream job for as long as I can remember. I have always been drawn to roles where I am helping people but with counselling it feels like a privilege to sit with someone in some of their darkest moments or when they feel at their most vulnerable.

I will always appreciate just how hard it is to make the decision to come for counselling, but I truly believe it is also one of the most rewarding decisions you will ever make for yourself.  Even if it can be incredibly difficult at times.

Counselling is not a regulated profession which means anyone can practice. I offer assurances that ​I am a PSA Accredited Professional member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) (PNCPS Acc), I adhere to their Code of Ethics and have regular supervision to ensure I work safely, ethically and always in the best interest of my clients.

My client’s needs and welfare really are at the heart of the work we do together. 

​I'd love to hear from you, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more or have any questions at all. There's no such thing as a silly question and I am happy to answer any you may have.

Even if you aren't sure that you are ready to start therapy yet, please do get in touch and perhaps I can help support you with any reservations, concerns or question you may have.
