Introducing emma

The heart behind Trance-Form and Grow

I’m Emma, a Counsellor and Hypnotherapist who truly understands what it feels like when life becomes too heavy to carry alone. I've delivered thousands of sessions to people from all over the world. My training is important, but so is my story, because I’ve lived through my own seasons of struggle, loss, rebuilding, and finding myself again. I know the feeling of holding everything together on the outside while quietly breaking on the inside.

That lived experience shapes every part of how I work: calm, grounded, human, and real. I don’t sit above you — I sit beside you. I offer a warm, relaxed space where you don’t have to pretend, perform, or stay strong.a place where you can breathe, talk, and be met with compassion and understanding.

Why work with me

People come to me because they want someone who genuinely gets it. I’ve been through my own difficult chapters, so I understand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re trying to manage it all by yourself. My approach isn’t clinical or detached. It’s warm, honest, and centred on giving you a space where you can breathe and feel supported.

Clients often tell me they feel safe with me in a way they’ve never felt with anyone else. I don’t judge. I don’t rush you. I meet you exactly where you are, with compassion and real understanding. You don’t have to pretend or be “strong.” You can drop the mask, let go of the roles you carry, and show up exactly as you are. I work gently but effectively — blending counselling, hypnotherapy, and grounded guidance tailored to you.

If you’re looking for someone warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in your healing, you’ll feel at home here. This is your space. Your story. And your chance to start again with someone who truly gets it.
