About Emma

Emma has acquired a wide range of experience over the past 10 years within the NHS and private sector, working in both inpatient and community mental health settings. Previously, Emma has held positions within senior management of a large blue-chip retailer.

‘I was really nervous about seeing a therapist as I didn’t actually know what was ‘wrong’ but Emma really understood me and I felt at ease during the assessment. She’s not just a ‘how does that make you feel’ therapist which I find patronising, she’s practical and genuine.’
