Emmy Lathom

I provide online sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10.15am to 9.30pm.

My approach to therapy is focused on building a strong therapeutic relationship. I am an integrative counsellor, that draws upon relational psychodynamic, systemic, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and third-wave approaches. The counselling modality used and interventions are adapted to meet the specific needs and preferences of clients.

My areas of experience include autism, ADHD, complex trauma, learning difficulties, social-emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), attachment difficulties, abuse, OCD, sexual assault, sexual and criminal exploitation, self-esteem issues, sexuality, gender identity, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and health-related anxieties. I provide sessions for children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Children and Adolescents: A variety of age-appropriate therapeutic techniques are used that allow children/adolescents to express themselves both verbally and non-verbally. The therapeutic relationship is used to create a space in which children and adolescents can process their emotions and experiences, as well as provide a supporting space and coping skills.

Adults: Throughout the therapeutic process, I collaborate with clients to work toward their therapeutic goals and aim to provide skills and strategies that will best support them as well as explore unconscious processes, early relational patterns, and past experiences that can shape an individual's present-day thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Couples: These sessions can be focused on incorporating tools and strategies for communication, intimacy, and resolving conflicts. Underlying dynamics that may be contributing to challenges within the relationship can also be explored.

Families:  I adopt a perspective that considers the interconnectedness of family dynamics and the impact of individual behaviours on the family unit as a whole. I aim to facilitate communication, promote understanding, and address patterns of communication that may contribute to conflict/distress.

I provide a free 15-minute phone consultation.

All counseling sessions are carried out online on an encrypted video platform.

Our first session will be an assessment session, the purpose of this session is for us to get to know each other and for me to learn, in-depth, about what problem/s bring you to therapy, and what you hope to gain.

In this session, we will also discuss the counselling contract and a privacy notice.
