Have you been struggling with sadness, depression or anxiety, feeling unseen, concerns about being 'not enough’ (or ‘too much’), or finding yourself repeating patterns that are hard to break? Perhaps you are currently experiencing a complex and difficult situation, and are craving the space to find clarity around it.
Here you will find a safe environment to explore what’s going on for you. A place where you don't have to hold it all together for the benefit of others, and can express yourself honestly.
I have a warm, empathic and supportive style, and pay attention to how we connect as we work, because this often reflects patterns of thought or behaviour that show up elsewhere in your life. Together, we can understand where your particular patterns come from, and work towards positive and lasting change.
While counselling is a talking-based therapy, you may find it helpful to express certain ideas or feelings through drawing or reading things you have written. Some clients enjoy homework, which might include reflecting on the session through journaling or art, or putting new ideas into practice, and I am happy to work with you in these ways if you wish to.
Alongside my work as an integrative counsellor, I bring lived experience of single parenting, co-parenting, and unconventional paths to parenthood. I understand some of the emotional nuances this can involve - around identity, choice, and doing things differently from those around you - and I welcome clients who are navigating these (and other) parenting experiences.
Sessions cost £60 (for 50 minutes), with concessions available for students and those on universal credit.
Hello, and welcome to Thinking Space - my name is Emily. I graduated in 2019 with a PGDip in Integrative Counselling from the University of Greenwich, and am a registered member of the BACP.
I blend different ways of working, drawing from psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. In practice, this looks like us exploring your experiences and their meaning for you, and trying to discern patterns that may be influencing your present-day life. We will also focus on what is happening now - always guided by what feels helpful to you.
If you are seeking in-person therapy, you will find me at the welcoming, comfortable Brighton Counselling Rooms at 46 Down Terrace, Hanover, a short journey from central Brighton.
For those who prefer walking whilst talking, I offer walk-and-talk sessions in Queen's Park, Hanover, and in the Royal Pavilion Gardens in central Brighton.
If you are living further afield, or prefer the convenience of online sessions, I use Google Meet. Face-to-face clients can also opt to switch to online for a session when necessary.
