Emma's Background
Personal Profile
Providing professional counselling support to empower individuals into experiencing emotional wellbeing is something Emma is very passionate about. In her earlier life she experienced immense challenge with anxiety and self worth and feeling that she didn't fit in this world. When seeking help she found that treatments did not bring results. She thus, began her own research on how to heal herself and through engaging in education, work and life experiences harnessed the skills to be able to support people in the community into confidence and resilience. In her research, Emma discovered that relief and change from emotional issues is achievable and by using a unique approach of a combination of techniques she is able to support individuals in reaching their desired outcomes.
Emma considers diet, sleep hygiene, exercise, relationships, beliefs, cosmology, childhood experiences, genetics, life choices, connection to the natural world and perspective when embarking on the healing process. She works to engage individuals using their interests to bring about results. Being able to call on a variety of tools; including talking therapy, imagination, psychodrama, CBT, creative exercises, breathwork, meditation techniques and somatic therapy allows individuals to choose a path that suits them and has been proven to bring desired results. Emma works together with clients so they are able to empower themselves and build their own clarity, strength, courage, safety, confidence, relief, connection and self love in a way that is meaningful to them.
