Hi, my name is Emily, and I have been working as a counsellor for 9 years, qualifying as a Level 5 advanced counsellor in 2020, specialising in one-to-one work with children and adolescents.

My passion has always been focused on children and young people, as this part of life is so mouldable, and often a helping hand to find guidance and support through challenges can help lead positive paths for the young persons future. My aim is to engage with young people in an empathic, non-judgemental manner using many creative methods.

I currently work with Creative Therapy for Children and Young People, based in Scunthorpe, as a Creative Counsellor. I use a variety of techniques in which to work with clients, as each individuals needs can be wide-ranging. These are often using tools such as paint, playdoh and numerous games.

I am also a fully trained child yoga instructor, and often use many elements of my training in counselling young people. Mindfulness and breathing techniques, for example, can be hugely valuable to practice. My background training is both person centred and CBT, and I work with areas such as anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem and self-worth, amongst many others.

My adult counselling is centred around forming a solid therapeutic relationship, offering a safe environment and showing empathy and congruence throughout. I use mainly Person Centred methods whilst counselling adults, but through my experience I adapt and change my methods to suit the clients needs once a therapeutic relationship is developing.

I am offering work both face to face in Scunthorpe (through Creative Therapy) and online to suit needs. I have found through the past few years, online work has proved to work incredibly well for those struggling with anxiety.
