Understanding That Comes from Lived Experience
I’m not just a counsellor — I’m someone who’s lived life, faced the challenges, and found my way through it.
I’m passionate about breaking the stigma around counselling, because the truth is, we all need help at times.
Counselling isn’t just about talking — it’s about connection. It’s about sitting with someone real. Someone who understands pain, struggle, and what it takes to rebuild your life from the inside out.
In my 57 years, I’ve seen and survived a lot. There were times when life felt completely off track. But I turned things around, and now I’m here to help others do the same.
Many people are simply trying to get through the day; they don't need labels or lectures. They need someone real who can say, "I get it ....; you're not alone. Let's work through this together."
No judgement. No pressure. Just honesty, empathy, and real support from someone who truly gets it.
And sometimes… all it takes is that one person who finally understands.

Counselling & Hypnotherapy
What we do
These sessions focus on you — your story, your struggles, and your growth. Through counselling and hypnotherapy, you receive structured support that helps you understand your experiences and move towards the changes you are ready to make.
How it works
I keep therapy simple, authentic and transparent.
We start with a free, relaxed online consultation so you can get a feel for me and ask any questions. Grab a coffee, get comfy, and let’s talk while we make a plan together. The first step can feel scary, but it’s often where change begins to happen.

Counselling and Hypnotherapy Working Together
A blend of counselling and hypnotherapy, working together
By blending clinical hypnosis with supportive counselling, you’re given a calm space to understand your emotions, release old patterns, and build confidence. Each session is shaped around your needs, helping you move forward with clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of ease.
Support for your mind.
Change from within.
How the Process Works
Simple steps to help you feel supported from the very start
Your journey begins with an open conversation about what you’d like to change, followed by a plan that fits your needs and comfort level. Each session builds on the last, giving you steady guidance, practical tools, and a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you.
1
INITIAL ONLINE CONSULTATION
We talk through what you’re experiencing, what you’d like to change, and what feels comfortable for you.
2
Your tailored plan
We decide together whether counselling, hypnotherapy, or a blend of both best suits your goals.
3
Your sessions and support
You begin your sessions, with steady guidance, space to explore your emotions, and ongoing support as you progress.
How the sessions work
Most sessions take place online, giving you privacy, comfort, and the freedom to open up from your own space. If needed, I can offer an in-person initial consultation, and home visits are available with an additional cost to cover travel and time.
No matter how we meet online, face-to-face, or in your home you’ll always receive the same calm, grounded and supportive experience.
When you begin therapy, something powerful happens —
you finally get space to talk, space to feel, and space to heal on a deeper level.
In our sessions, you’re supported with grounded, down-to-earth counselling to help you understand your emotions… and gentle hypnosis that can help you release old patterns, soften anxiety, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
There’s no one-size-fits-all here.
Everything is shaped around you — your pace, your story, your needs.
As you move through each session, you may start to notice subtle shifts: feeling more balanced, stronger inside, more able to breathe again… stepping into a version of yourself that feels lighter and truly supported.
Real change doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — sometimes it begins with the gentlest breath, the safest space, and the right support beside you.
You don’t have to do this alone.
This is your next step — and it has the power to change everything.
Why I offer online therapy
I choose to offer online therapy because it gives you the freedom, comfort and privacy to open up in a way that often feels harder in a traditional therapy room.
Many clients tell me they feel more relaxed at home, more able to be themselves, and far less anxious about “showing up” or travelling anywhere. It allows therapy to fit into your life, rather than forcing you to rearrange your life to fit in appointments.
Online sessions remove so many barriers:
- No rushing
- No travelling
- No parking
- No unfamiliar rooms
- No arranging childcare
- No waiting rooms
- No social anxiety about walking in
- More flexibility
Just you, in your own safe space, with the support you need right there on the screen.
Online therapy is incredibly effective. Research shows it works just as well as in-person support, and often allows people to open up more deeply because they feel grounded in their own environment. My calm, warm and down-to-earth style translates beautifully online, and clients quickly realise that connection isn’t about the room — it’s about the relationship we build together.
Offering therapy online means you can work with me from anywhere: across the UK, internationally, or from the quiet corner of your home where you feel safest.
And for those who need it, I’m happy to offer an in-person initial consultation or occasional home visits at an additional cost
Wherever you are — at home, at work, or halfway across the world — you are welcome here.
This is your space to breathe, talk, heal and simply be you.

Testimonials
Hear from Those Who have Trance-formed
This was my first introduction to hypnotherapy after always being curious about it. I found the experience very insightful and impactful, hypnotherapy making me very proactive towards my goals and actually feeling the change after each session. I felt well suited to this style of therapy in how fast I progressed with it, after having also experienced talking therapy in the past. After the first session, which mentioned positivity, I genuinely couldn't stop smiling for about a week!
Emma was great and made me feel super comfortable and relaxed, explaining the whole process to me and how hypnotherapy could work to help. I felt I could trust and talk to Emma about anything when discussing my goals for the sessions and could see how she incorporated these into the sessions. Emma is a lovely, positive soul to be guided by and I will go back to her in a heartbeat for any future hypnotherapy sessions.
The hypnotherapy was helpful itself as I managed to get into the relaxed subconscious state quickly and deeply, which helped me to naturally focus on and be guided by Emma's voice throughout the sessions. The therapy really helped me to tap into my subconscious and I could feel myself doing the goals we had spoken about in the following weeks and things really started to change and be incorporated into my daily life and manifestations. I would absolutely recommend hypnotherapy and Emma to anyone thinking about it.
I was suffering from anxiety due to working in an extremely stressful workplace. I was unsure what to expect from hypnotherapy, but Emma was so reassuring and easy to talk to. She instantly put me at ease, and I felt able to open up to her about how I was feeling. It was a truly relaxing experience, and I felt safe and secure in Emma’s care. I have felt calmer following the session and have been able to walk in to work without the feeling of dread that I had been experiencing.
I’ve never had hypnotherapy before and I didn’t know if it would be effective for me at first. Emma’s blend of hypnotherapy and counselling unlocked something that counselling alone has never been able to achieve.
Even though it was online, Emma’s voice and guidance led to me achieving a deep state of relaxation where she helped me to reach my inner child, one as my younger self and one as my older self. She was then able to use counselling to reflect and explore what the inner child work had brought up for me. I had numerous ‘light bulb’ moments during this blended approach and I was able to finally let go of things that were no longer serving me and reach a place of acceptance in relation to who I am, through identifying those who had impacted me negatively in my life and how this affected how I viewed myself. It only took 4 sessions, but the transformation for me within this time was amazing.
I can’t recommend Emma highly enough, she’s help me take control back of my life.
