Emma Briffett

I’m Emma, a qualified person-centred counsellor based on the Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire border.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply unsure where to turn, you don’t have to face it alone. Talking things through can help you move forward and find resolution. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can be heard – either in person or online.

While I work from a person-centred approach – meaning you set the focus of our sessions – I also draw on a range of therapeutic methods to best support your journey. My aim is to provide a calm, non-judgmental environment where you can pause, reflect, and explore what’s on your mind without pressure. Together, we can look at your past experiences, understand how they’re shaping your present, and find new ways forward with clarity and confidence.

I welcome clients from across the spectrum of gender, sex, and relationship. Your experiences are unique and deeply personal, and I believe your counselling should reflect that – tailored to you, your needs, and your journey.

Taking the step to seek support can feel big, and it’s normal to feel uncertain or nervous. When you feel ready, you’re welcome to get in touch. I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute call so we can talk about what you’re looking for and see if working together feels like the right fit. If calling feels daunting, you’re welcome to send me a text or email to start the conversation.

Sometimes we all feel stuck. We might know something isn't right, but can't quite see the way forward. I believe the answers are already within you, but when life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to hear that inner voice. Together we can create space for that voice to emerge.

I offer both short-term counselling, usually 6 sessions, and long-term, open-ended counselling depending on your needs. I specialise in working with people suffering from anger, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and those who are dealing with loss and bereavement. Together, we can examine and try to make sense of what is causing you pain, so that you can move forward and start living life more fully.
