About me

Hello and welcome! I'm Em (She/Her), a passionate and dedicated
integrative creative counsellor based in York. My mission is
to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can freely
explore your thoughts and feelings.

I take an integrative approach, drawing on various methods to suit each unique individual, emphasising a non-directive approach that focuses on listening and providing the therapeutic time and space for you to discover your own answers.

I believe in celebrating the uniqueness and diversity of each individual. I welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, faiths, cultures, and backgrounds, encouraging you to bring all parts of your identity into our sessions. As such I believe each client requires a diverse and unique approach, to ensure this I maintain a commitment to continuous learning including additional training in creative counselling and walk and talk therapy, allowing me to integrate my passion for the arts and the outdoors into my practice. My goal is to help clients connect with their inner resources and move forward with confidence in their chosen direction.

I have also undertaken training with The British Infertility Counselling Association, and The Foundation for Infant Loss, deepening my understanding as a Fertility, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Practitioner, including as a Rainbow Baby and Infertility Specialist. I also offer in-person relationship therapy and am certified in counselling for couples/relationships.

A little about me
