Emma Bagnall

I am currently available for face-to-face sessions.

I provide counselling and psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults.

My aim is to help you gently discover and address the root of your problem, and not just deal with the symptoms. This means that we are likely to work together over a longer period of time, on a weekly basis.

I have a particular interest in anxiety and in relationships and I encourage you to read the related pages on my website to learn how I will work with you in these areas.

Anxiety:

By exploring together the events that trigger your anxious feelings, and by unpicking some of your history, we have a chance to make sense of why you become fearful and unsettled.

Anxiety is not something that simply goes away and we will likely need to work together for a while. My aim is for us to get you to a point where you can manage your anxiety, rather than it overwhelm or limit you.

Relationships:

I can help you to think about what is going on in your relationships, whether with friends, family, intimate partner, or the people you encounter on a daily basis. By gently talking through your experiences with me, I can help you to make sense of your behaviour and reactions. Without knowing it, you might behave with me in a way that reveals some of your relating habits. I will let you know what I notice and how I experience you, as it might be something that is occurring in all your relationships, and not just the one you build with me.  

I do understand that you might feel unsure about having therapy, or about what is troubling you, so your first session (your initial consultation) with me will be an opportunity to explore what will be useful for you. You can find out whether I am someone you can talk to, and you can gain an idea of how we might work together. This session lasts for 1.5 hours.

Please know you may contact me in the strictest confidence with any questions or worries. My practice website will also provide you with more information: www.westlondontherapypractice.com.

In order to provide broader accessibility to therapy I use a sliding scale to determine your fee for sessions.

I am a psychotherapist working at The Loft, West View Farm, Ambrosden, Oxfordshire.
