Emma Brett-Jones

I provide a safe, confidential and calm environment for you to talk and for us think together about your situation. I offer weekly sessions on a short term or longer term basis according to your needs.

I am experienced in helping clients who have been struggling with:

• feeling stressed or anxious

• experiencing low self-esteem or a lack of confidence

• finding it difficult to make or sustain good relationships

• repeatedly being involved in destructive or unsatisfactory relationships

• performance anxiety

• struggling with family conflicts

• work-related stress

• panic attacks

• anxiety or fears

• self-harm

• coming to terms with losses such as separation, redundancy or bereavement

• feeling depressed, sad or empty

• lacking a sense of purpose or meaning in life

• coming to terms with one's sexuality or gender

• physical or body image problems

I have the following professional and academic qualifications:

MSc Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, University of London.

Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy - WPF.

Ascentis - Awareness in Bereavement Care, Foundation Course, Cruse

In addition to my private practice I have experience of working for the NHS (secondary care) and in a community counselling agency - Sutton Counselling.

I am a full member of Birkbeck Counselling Association.

I am an accredited member of the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council).

I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

The first step is to contact me by phone or email. At this initial contact, if you choose, we can arrange to meet for a consultation. There is no commitment to ongoing sessions at this stage. At the consultation we can think about how we might work together and if counselling would be beneficial for you. I will ask you to tell me what brings you to seek counselling at this time.  We will then think together about your present situation, your past and what you hope counselling can help you with.  The consultation fee is £70 for an hour and a half.
