Emma Russell

Hello I'm Emma, I’m a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and member of the BACP.

I offer a calm, compassionate and confidential space where you can talk about difficult or painful experiences, thoughts and feelings.

Life can be complex and challenging, but I believe counselling can be transformative and help support your wellbeing.

I will listen sensitively without judgement and will seek to fully understand you, offering my response to enable you to explore and process how you are feeling.

Clarifying feelings and being more self-aware will help you find a way forward in difficult times, whether this is by seeing your options more clearly or by making the necessary changes you want to make.

My humanistic approach values working alongside you rather than telling you what to do or who to be. It means you will choose what to focus on for each session 

Humanistic counselling encourages self-awareness, self-development, and seeks to help you recognise your strengths, creativity and choices in life. A space is created for you to reflect and act on your feelings.

Integrative counselling means using a blend of theories, and I personally use Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Transactional Analysis. 

I have a vocational background in domestic violence, sexual assault, and child protection. 

I practice at Anahata Health Clinic in Kemptown, Brighton. www.anahatahealth.co.uk

I offer a 30 minute free initial consultation, online or by telephone, which is informal and relaxed and will focus on us getting to know each other to see whether we are a good fit.
