Emma Blanc

During our introductory call, we can discuss our availability and what timings would suit.

I’m Emma - I’m a counsellor working online with adults and I am based in SW London. Starting therapy can feel very daunting. You may be dealing with something specific, or you might simply feel overwhelmed and stuck, or even unsure of what you actually need. You may just want to feel heard. I’m here to offer a warm, safe space where you can talk openly, feel listened to, and explore what’s going on at a pace that feels right for you. I offer both short term and long term work depending on what feels right to you.

What I Can Help With

I have supported clients with a variety of challenges (please see list below). I specialise in addiction and have a strong understanding of 12-step recovery and the emotional work that goes alongside it. I have worked in this field for many years and feel extremely passionate about helping clients who are in both active addiction and in recovery. I know what a difficult and painful time this can be, and I am here to support you whether that is navigating your recovery journey, exploring your relationship with drugs or alcohol or looking at why you turn to substances in the first place. I can also help you if you are in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction and I understand how challenging this can be and how lonely and powerless you may feel.

About Me and My Style of Working

Clients often describe me as calm, warmhearted, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can bring anything — whether it feels big, confusing, shameful, or something you’ve never voiced before. There’s no pressure to be a certain way; you can show up exactly as you are and use the sessions in a way that fits you best.

Together, we can work to make sense of what you’re experiencing and help you find clarity, emotional balance and a way forward. I have a gentle approach and will never ask you to talk about anything you don’t want to or feel unable to explore. The space is yours, and what you choose to bring will guide us.

Working Online

I aim to make counselling as accessible as possible and so currently work online and offer a small number of reduced-fee sessions on a sliding scale.

Get in Touch

The first step can often be the hardest. If you would like to have a chat and explore whether we can work together, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. Please do get in touch via email and we can talk about what your needs are and what you are looking for.

The first session is a gentle introduction to counselling. We will explore what has brought you here and what you are hoping to achieve, and I will outline how I work. You are welcome to ask questions, and there is no expectation to share anything before you feel ready.
