Emily Ward

I currently have availability on selected weekday evenings, with some weekend morning appointments available by arrangement.

Have you reached a point of burnout where you don't quite recognise yourself anymore?

Perhaps you're exhausted from trying to keep everything together. You may have spent a long time coping, putting other people first and doing what is expected of you, only to find that you're now feeling overwhelmed, anxious or unsure of what you need. Maybe work has become increasingly difficult to manage, or you're questioning where you're going and what you want from life. If any of this feels familiar, therapy can help provide a space to pause and reconnect. 

As a person-centred therapist, I won't tell you what to do or who to be. Instead, I'll listen and work alongside you to make sense of what you're experiencing. We can explore things at your pace, focusing on what feels important to you.

About Me

I came to counselling after a career in teaching, having experienced first-hand the stress, exhaustion and burnout that can come with the demands of the role. 

My clinical work has included counselling at a domestic abuse charity, and I bring this trauma-informed experience to sessions with private clients.

I also spent many years volunteering with Samaritans, which reinforced for me how valuable it can be to have someone who will really listen, particularly when the things you need to talk about feel difficult to say.

I run a private practice based in Manchester and also work remotely with clients across the UK.

Sessions take place either in person or remotely online.

Each session lasts 50 minutes.

We will usually meet weekly or fortnightly, depending on what feels right for you.

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to all prospective clients. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what you're looking for and to answer any questions you may have.
