Hi, I am Em, a Person Centred Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor based in Bacup, Lancashire, welcome to my website!
I work with both young people and adults and offer individual confidential face to face, online and telephone counselling to anyone aged 11+ throughout the UK. I also offer in-person and online Clinical Supervision to both qualified counsellors and counsellors in training.
There may be many reasons you find yourself here visiting my website for yourself or your child.
Looking for a counsellor can be a daunting experience and you or your child may have lots of questions for me. Clients often describe me as real, friendly and down to earth where I offer a safe, relaxed space with a smile and supportive environment for you to explore what matters in a way that feels comfortable.
I have lived experience of ADHD where I received a diagnosis later in life and have a deep understanding and appreciate the different ways people think, feel and process alongside the challenges that can come with neurodiversity.
During our sessions together you will be shown respect, understanding and patience, to allow you the time and space to speak freely and openly. I can support you to explore the issues and challenges you are facing and help you to move forward in your life.
Counselling can help to explore a wide range of issues and I am passionate about offering you the opportunity to explore these. I have supported people with many different challenges, and I have particular experience with ADHD. I have worked with teenagers to help them to make sense of their diagnosis, and supported adults who are exploring ADHD, going through the assessment process, or adjusting to life after a diagnosis.
Here are some of the common areas I have supported clients with:
Working within a Person-Centred approach means I put emphasis on you being at the centre of the counselling process. One of the most important factors is the strength of our relationship as we work together to help you to explore what is happening in your life. I can assure you, I am here to help and listen to you in these difficult times. Together we can build a warm, safe and trustworthy relationship.
Please feel free to explore my website to find out more about me and my approach. If you have any questions or believe counselling would be helpful for you or your child, I encourage you to get in contact for a brief initial call to see how we might work together.
