Emma Robson

I work all day on Thursdays and Sundays.  I will respond to emails and calls throughout the week, mainly in the evenings.

I am a person-centred counsellor who works with both adults and teenagers. As a person-centred counsellor, my practice revolves around creating a safe space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. I believe in the power of genuine understanding, valuing your unique experiences without judgement. You'll find that I accept you as you are and create an environment where you can embrace your true self.

I prioritise your autonomy and growth. Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and personal development, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with newfound confidence and resilience.

I am a calm, down to earth and reliable person and this is reflected in my counselling practice.  I am trained as a person-centred counsellor and I can flex my practice to suit each client.

I am very aware of my privilege, as a white, middle class, woman in the UK. As a person-centred counsellor I endeavour to understand and inhabit your world.  Counselling is your journey, my assumptions about you will not be helpful. I welcome anyone, from any background, group or life experience into counselling.

In our sessions, I will engage with you openly and honestly. I won't offer solutions or advice, but instead, I'll guide you to uncover your own insights and solutions, empowering you to make decisions that align with your values and aspirations.

During an introductory phone call I will find out a little bit about you and your reasons for accessing counselling. I will also answer any questions you have. I will email you an Initial Assessment Form and the Client Contract. 

At your first appointment the Client Contract and Assessment form will be discussed and signed.  I will explain all elements of the contract and check you are happy and understand them.

After this the counselling sessions will be unique to you. You can talk about anything and express any feelings in each session. It is normal for clients to feel apprehensive about counselling and it may take a little while for you to feel safe and trusting.

We will review your progress every 4 weeks in a counselling session.
