Emma West
Counselling

Online counselling for you, wherever you are

Hello - my name is Emma - I am an experienced, BACP accredited counsellor with specialist training in online counselling.

I've found that the vast majority of my clients benefit from psycho education [learning about how the brain works but without needing to be a neuroscientist!] - say hello to your 'Monkey' brain... and most want practical strategies and techniques that they can easily apply to effect change. If that sounds like you then please get in touch.

I can help you with a range of issues including stress, low mood, anxiety, dissatisfaction at work or with life in general, low self esteem/confidence, relationship/family problems, parenting issues, loss, anger and trauma.

I also have specialist experience and knowledge of disability, carer, health, student and gender dysphoria issues, and I am LGBTQIA2S+ affirmative. I have lived experience of rare disability and carer issues.

I charge £60 for a 50 minute session which includes being sent resources post session for you to refer to and keep.

While I can't give you medical advice I can support you if you are thinking about taking, are taking, or wish to stop taking, psychiatric drugs eg 'antidepressants'.

My approach

The most important thing in counselling is the ‘therapeutic relationship’ – a good counsellor is one who leaves you feeling you are being listened to, cared for and not judged.

Thank you so much for your help over the last six weeks. I am feeling so much better and more in control of my life now, thank you for helping me look at things in a more balanced way! I’ve loved coming to see you.

Thank you Emma for ALL that you have done to help me get through that very very bad time. I appreciate everything and value all the papers I have.

You have changed my life in ways you’ll never know. Thank you so much, you are amazing.

Out of all the people I have seen before, I feel like you are the one who has provided me with things I can actually implement, and that will make a difference.
