Emma Newman

I offer sessions on Mondays- Fridays during the day and some evenings available, online, face to face or walk and talk sessions available.

I believe our relationships to be one of the most important parts of therapy and developing trust is one of the things I aim to do. 

 I am trained in  EMDR psychotherapy and integrate this in my practise or offer pure emdr sessions for phobias, traumas, anxiety or negative beliefs among other things. This is a safe, effective method of treating traumas however big or small and nhs approved.

I also incorporate art, therapy cards, meditation and mindfulness within my practise and can include inner child work as well as exploring how our past relationship to self and others has affected us in our current circumstances. 

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable.

I will gently guide you to explore what feels difficult at the moment and hopefully begin to release emotions around difficulties and hurts in your life past and present. The weekly meeting with a safe person is therapeutically healing and I hope to create that space for you to feel seen and heard.

First sessions are 1 hour and all sessions are 50mins after this.

For pure emdr the first 4 sessions are 90mins for deep processing and can be reduced after this.

Please get in touch for availability. I work Monday- Friday and have some evening slots occasionally available.

Hi thanks for reading my profile. Firstly I want you to know that your problem is not too big or too small for me, you deserve the time and space to be heard, held and helped.

 Secondly you will never bore me, I love talking deeply and will go down any rabbit hole you want to go down and will sit with you whilst you process whatever you need to process.

I am naturally a dynamic and creative person and a lover of nature and spirituality, so I draw on these things in our work if they resonate with you too. I offer online, face to face and walk and talk sessions outside in nature.

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and EMDR practitioner, member of the BACP and ACC and continue to invest in monthly training in my specialist areas.

I aim to offer you a safe, supportive and non judgemental space to help you explore your current difficulties whatever they may be. Nothing is out of bounds with me. 

My counselling training enabled me to study different modalities such as EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and repeocessing) psychodynamic theory, gestalt, transactional analysis, person centred theory and third wave CBT to name a few.  However I believe the relationship we form is one of the most important aspects to helping you work through your difficulties and I welcome challenges and questions from you so you can feel safe with me.

Additionally there is never any pressure to talk about anything that feels uncomfortable, but I am here if and when you do want to work on the uncomfortable parts of your life, something this can take time and that is normal.

I aim to offer equal amounts of empathy, support and gentle challenge depending on what you are going through and what is appropriate. 

I offer in person sessions, online and walk and talk nature/woodland sessions in the Sevenoaks area.

Before we start work I offer a free 15-20 minute call so we can ask each other any questions and for us to see if we feel we are the right fit for each other. If I don't feel I am the right fit for you I will aim to offer you a referral to a counsellor I feel will help. 

Our first session would be 60 minutes and is charged at my normal rate.

For just EMDR sessions and no talk therapy these are 90 min sessions for the first 4 sessions and can be reduced to 50 Min sessions afterwards.

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and EMDR practitioner.

 I believe the relationship between myself and you to be the most important thing and I am aim to offer a non judgmental space for you to bring whatever is on your mind and troubling you.

 I work integratively, meaning that I draw on a variety of psychotherapy models such as EMDR, psychodynamic, where you look at early childhood attachment and the impact this has had on you today and Transactional analysis where you look at patterns in relating to self and others which have formed in the past. My main aim is to help you process your emotions around difficult areas of your life and allow you space to explore them. We can do this through talking, art or even using nature to help us go deeper on a woodland walking session. 

I have a special interest in helping those from dysfunctional or difficult family backgrounds, miscarriage and baby loss, anxiety, relational issues and childhood trauma and abuse. But my main interest is helping others to feel seen, heard and understood and allow you to grief or work through whatever it is that feels difficult. 

I offer online sessions, face to face sessions or walk and talk sessions.

I offer a free 15-20minute phone/video call initially to work out if we are going to be a good fit to work together. Please get in touch to book this with me.

My first session with you will be charged at a normal rate but will be 60 mins, after this all sessions are 50 mins.

Pure EMDR sessions without talk therapy are 90mins for the first sessions and can be reduced to 50min sessions after this period.
