Welcome, and Thank You for Visiting my Website

As a qualified and BACP accredited psychodynamic therapist, I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy to adults as well as consulting to firms. Before training as an accredited BACP therapist I worked as a lawyer in the city and internationally.

Whilst there is no one set way with therapy, as one person may experience a similar set of circumstances in a different way, my approach is open, warm, and insightful, attuning to the individual and their particular needs and experiences.

There is substantial research to suggest that many mental health difficulties arise in childhood and that adult mental health challenges are developmental in nature.

I provide a space and an atmosphere of support and collaboration, to begin to explore your life, and past and present experiences. Together, we will dive deep into your thoughts, emotions, desires, and fears, including current struggles, past events, and childhood memories.

This self-examination and personal discovery process offers you valuable insight and a new perspective.

How therapy can help

Our sessions can benefit you with the knowledge to solve inner conflicts, work through repressed emotions, and find relief. During our sessions, I teach you practical coping strategies to face challenging situations, boosting your resilience and adaptability.

Increasing self-awareness

Identifying your patterns and getting to know yourself enables you to make new connections and spot patterns that originate in the past. This new self-awareness can help you notice how your experiences might have shaped and continue to affect you today.

Increasing self-esteem

Recognising this truth can drive you to shift unhelpful recurring behaviours, let go of old ones, and bring about change that feels lasting, whilst increasing your self-esteem.

Reflective Practice Sessions for Lawyers and Consulting

Being an ex-city lawyer I have a specialist interest in offering work focused Reflective Practice sessions to legal professionals. I provide a safe, supportive and uniquely reflective space to look at how lawyers or your firm's talent can gain balance at work.

Understanding the underlying, deep-rooted reasons for stress or anxiety at work and gaining insight can enable lasting change so you or your team can feel more in control and balance.

“My sessions with Emilia felt very safe and supportive. I felt I could open up easily and it was a warm space to be in. I had my sessions online which was easier than I first thought and sometimes we met in person. Emilia helped me to manage and understand my behaviours and explore some painful parts of my childhood- she did this with great care and empathy. I miss our sessions because it always felt as if someone had my back but I feel empowered and positive about navigating tricky life moments, which I think is down to the depth of support and confidence she gave me.”

“Emilia really helped me to work through the challenges that I was facing and to effect a genuine change in my life. She came to grips with my situation really quickly, and I felt that she truly understood me and could help me right from the beginning. The environment Emilia creates is very safe and supportive, which makes it easier to work through difficult problems. With Emilia's help, I could better understand how past events have shaped me and my view of the world and work through to a place where I am much happier and confident about my life moving forward.”

“Emilia provided a compassionate and supportive space for me to explore the journey of my life and to work through previous traumas. I felt she was invested in me, really understanding and listening to me. Not only was Emilia kind and empathic but she also offered a wealth of knowledge which allowed me to better understand previous events. Emilia helped me form the tools to put in place boundaries to help me become a happier and more confident person. She was wonderful to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to others.”

“Emilia is a skilled therapist. She is empathic and caring and supported me to make sense of a number of difficulties. She is very patient too, which allowed me to become more vulnerable - something I've found difficult as a male, and with other therapists. I think most importantly I enjoyed the time I shared with Emilia and wish her the best in and out of the therapy room.”
