Emma Williams

I work Monday to Fridays 10-5pm (Thursdays until 6pm) and twice a month on Saturday mornings.

We are all influenced by the people in our lives and the experiences we have had both past and present, all of which serve to shape and define us. Sometimes we need help in understanding how the culmination of these factors can get in the way of being able to live life fully and with ease.

Maybe you're looking for relief from the pain of anxiety or depression. You could be struggling with life changes or loss. You may want a better relationship with yourself and/or those closest to you.

I offer a non-judgemental space in which I can help you to explore your feelings, beliefs and patterns of behaviour. We can journey together into your inner world, make sense of your difficulties and create ways of coping, healing and thriving.

I may invite you to think about things differently or offer an alternative perspective. This is always done with an attitude of unconditional acceptance. I bring warmth, empathy and a sense of humour. I can be challenging where necessary whilst being supportive and compassionate.

I work extensively with anxiety, depression, low self esteem and challenging family relationships. My specialisms are:

ADHD, Autism, AuDHD

Alcohol and substance use disorder

Sexual abuse and exploitation

I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist.

I also specialise in areas related to the LGBTQIA+ and GSRD communities.

I have been a therapist since 2019. Prior to counselling I worked for 20 years as a secondary school teacher and behaviour consultant in education.

I am a qualified and experienced Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I hold a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

I work relationally which means the relationship we form as client and therapist is extremely important in terms of promoting healing. I am influenced by humanistic, person centered and psychodynamic approaches. This supports a flexible way of working that honours and values client uniqueness. In simple terms, at the core of each approach are the central issues of how we relate, to ourselves, to others, to our past experiences and to our ever evolving sense of self.

Considering the origin and development of distress can be helpful in terms of deciding what can be changed to ease discomfort, equally sometimes focusing on the here and now may be what is needed.

I often include psycho-education and tool giving in my work. I have trained in mindfulness and yoga which informs a psycho-somatic approach to my work.

I engage in a regular programme of continuing professional development and clinical supervision.

I offer focused short term counselling (typically 8 sessions) and long-term therapy for anyone wanting to work through more complex and deep seated issues.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place at the same time and venue each week. After an initial 8 once a week sessions I can offer more flexible appointments i.e bi-monthly and once a month.

Weekly Monday to Friday appointments are £75, other than weekly are £80 and weekends are £90. I ask for payment in advance of sessions.

Please contact me initially via email or text as I can’t always answer the phone. I will reply within 48 hours. If you don't hear back from me within this time frame, please check your junk mail. If emailing me, it would be helpful to include your phone number.

Once we have made contact we can arrange a mutually convenient time for an introductory chat either by phone or zoom.

During our intro call, you can ask me any questions you may have about how I work or therapy in general and we can discuss practical details. Should you choose to proceed, we can arrange your first session.

The first session has an assessment style. I will ask you questions about your personal history, why you are seeking therapy at this time and what you hope to achieve from it. We can also assess mutual suitability i.e whether I am the right therapist for you. If we’re both happy to proceed, we will agree to the parameters of our work together.
