Welcome to... Therapy By Emma

I feel that my sessions have been really beneficial, they have helped me to be able to gain a greater understanding of useful tools and the ability to step back from difficult situations with an alternative lens. I feel we covered a lot during our sessions and Emma facilitated them with great understanding, patience, and knowledge... really listened to what it was I wanted to work on, developing and providing the best-fit guidance and tools. I have had talking therapies and CBT before and I feel that these sessions have been by far the most beneficial and useful, due to being genuinely heard and supported in the right way by Emma.

I think for me, learning the techniques has been the most valuable part. Taking away bite sized techniques to take away and learn myself. I’ve really enjoyed that this has been like having a chat too, though it’s not just having a chat and getting it off my chest, I’ve also had techniques to apply. In the past when I had previous therapy they were very clinical and I didn’t feel like I was having a chat. Emma creates a much more relaxed environment where I’ve felt able to share and that’s been positive for me.

Although I had struggled with severe anxiety for quite a while, I’d hoped I’d be able to manage it. However a theme came up for me that was just too much and dealing with it on my own became impossible. And over several months with Emma I was taught ideas to challenge what my anxiety was telling me, as well as techniques to reduce the intensity and severity of that anxiety. I went from being an anxious wreck struggling to get through the day, thinking I would never feel how I used to, to feeling relatively myself again. With the nature of my condition I know it is likely I may encounter setbacks in the future, but with Emma’s help I am confident that I will be able to deal with them. Therapy By Emma has played a huge role in helping me get my life back.

Emma helped me a lot with what I needed to do to get back to normal. I am very thankful for all of Emma’s help in setting me in the right direction. My therapy sessions were very helpful. It was a great experience and definitely helped me to get out and about again.

I would like to thank you very much for helping me. It has meant a lot and I cannot think of anything that you need to improve on. It was perfect for me. Thank you so very much.

Things I found helpful was to look at the way I was thinking... I am now looking at things with an open mind. This has been able to happen with the guidance and outlook I have learned from Emma. I feel I’ve learned a lot, and this has felt more laidback and less clinical than other therapy I have been to. Not expected too much but pushed me to know what I can do and boosted my confidence to know I am a strong person… I’ve enjoyed therapy.

Emma is a person that’s comfortable to talk to. Not only did we focus on the overall goal but when the time called for it there was flexibility to talk about the other issues and things that went on that week. It was nice. Emma gave me the right questions to discover the answers for myself and let me go at my own pace... I feel like I’ve definitely walked away with a lot of helpful information that I didn’t have, and if I go down a bad road again I feel I can use that to get out of it – It’s like having street signs! And I know most of the answers to face it, improve it, and do what I need to do. If anything happens again I will definitely be back in touch for more sessions... It helped that I got on with Emma – I don’t usually trust people and I felt comfortable within the first 15 minutes and knew I could talk to Emma which made a hell of a lot of difference – In particular the friendly chat and calm voice gave a lot of comfort. Emma’s changed my life in a good way.

I found Emma very warm and welcoming, and extremely professional and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for our sessions, I truly feel that they have helped. I've gone from having several flashbacks a week to barely any. I found the breathing and relaxation techniques you taught me extremely useful for managing my flashbacks, and the behavioural exercises have really helped my confidence teaching me how to assess situations differently, and I feel like I’ve regained my life back. I am certain that all of the coping strategies that we have been through will continue to help me going forward.

I had initial scepticism about the benefit of CBT as an aid to coping with clinical depression.  I soon realised that Emma showed a good understanding of myself, my behaviour and how to tailor CBT to my needs. I'm pleased and relieved at the successful outcome. Emma is a skilled professional and has shown excellent guidance and compassion throughout.

Emma has been a steady influence for the treatment of my PTSD over the last 5 months. She is a happy and smiley person with lots of empathy who has helped me to talk openly about my accident. She has helped me to understand my feelings and has healed me in the process of our sessions together. I couldn’t have had a more understanding therapist. Our weekly sessions gave me the strength to recover and I can now talk about my experience without becoming very emotional and I don’t get that fight-or-flight pain in my chest anymore. I highly recommend Emma and she would be the first therapist I would go to for help in the future.

After 12 sessions with Emma it was a very positive journey. I learned so much; How to take care of myself and deal with my worry and anxiety. I completed a 12-week therapy programme with Emma, and it brought meaningful changes into my life. I started going to the gym and have been learning how to carry myself in social and personal settings. Including improving my tone of voice, assertive ways, building self-confidence and managing my anxiety and worry. I am actively applying these to my daily life. I truly appreciate the professional way you respect my boundaries and rights whilst offering guidance and support. Thank you very much for your help. Wishing you continued success.

Honestly, Therapy By Emma has been nothing short of life‑changing for me. I’ve struggled with therapy for years and have had it multiple times for my PTSD, but I always walked away feeling misunderstood or talked down to. When you’re opening up wounds and putting yourself in such a vulnerable place, feeling judged or spoken to condescendingly is devastating.

With Emma, it has been the complete opposite — and I can’t put into words how much that has meant. From day one, they saw me, heard me, and genuinely understood me. They matched my energy, spoke to me in a way that felt human and respectful, and gave me the time and space I needed without ever making me feel like a burden. They made sure I was in the right headspace before we tackled anything difficult, and they adapted everything to what I needed.

They’ve been unbelievably accommodating with my work and personal life, never making me feel guilty for needing flexibility. When sessions couldn’t happen, they still checked in just to make sure I was okay — and that level of care is something I’ll never forget.

Emma isn’t just an amazing therapist; they’re one of the kindest, most compassionate people I’ve ever met. They’ve gone above and beyond for me in ways I didn’t even know were possible in therapy. They found ways to keep me engaged, to make things accessible despite my learning difficulties, and to help me feel safe enough to actually heal.

I now have grounding techniques, coping strategies, and real tools I can use when things get overwhelming. Things that actually work. Things that have genuinely changed my day‑to‑day life.

I don’t know how to fully express how grateful I am. Emma has done more for my mental health than anyone ever has, and I honestly can’t thank them enough. I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say: I couldn’t recommend them more.

Just having somebody to break things down so clearly and understand why I’m feeling certain ways and how to combat this – You’ve given me a really good set of tools. It feels like you’ve not just adhered to an approach but taken time to understand how I think, how I feel, my struggles, and I appreciate that. It’s nice to have somebody there that gets it.

I was struggling after an accident to walk confidently and take on day to day journeys that I had done all my life. It felt very frustrated and limited in what I could do on a daily basis. Emma has a very engaging and empathetic approach to tricky situations. She is a great listener with a very positive can do attitude that is both supportive and non-judgemental. She helped me approach my recovery in easy to follow steps that gave me achievable goals, which in turn rebuilt my self-confidence. This helped me to re-frame my negative thoughts so that I could get back to my previous level of confidence. I would recommend Emma to anyone who needs to recover from any situation that has broad sided your confidence and is suffering from any anxiety about even the smallest tasks. I worked with Emma over 8 sessions and her approach really helped me to rebuild my self confidence in a way I feel very positive about the future..
