Book a sessionEmma's main focus in therapy sessions is to help the client feel listened to and supported, so they can be honest and open about their difficulties, so her client and herself can work collaboratively to help meet their goals. She thinks it is important to work together in order to have a shared understanding of the individuals difficulties so that the most appropriate and effective therapeutic interventions can be identified to best meet the goals that people want to achieve through therapy. Emma has worked in the NHS since 2008. She spent several years working in primary care delivering CBT for individuals with depression and/or anxiety, including OCD, PTSD, health anxiety, social anxiety, generalised anxiety and specific phobias. During her time working in primary care, she wanted to further develop her skills in order to offer a bigger range of therapies so undertook training in EMDR and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). Her clinical psychology training has allowed her the opportunity to learn other therapeutic approaches such as ACT and CAT which means that she has a wide range of approaches that she can draw from in order to best meet the needs of clients. In addition to her therapy experience, she is also completing additional training in neuropsychology and therefore has a special interest in working with individuals who may have experienced a traumatic brain injury or have experienced or have a diagnosis of a neurological condition (e.g., epilepsy, stroke).
