Emma’s first degree was English, after which she completed a creative writing MA and during this time worked in the care industry with people with Multiple Sclerosis, and always found the relational part of the work was what she really enjoyed.  

After volunteering for a six month project whilst living in Rwanda, Emma worked as a full time musician and ran music sessions for older and more vulnerable people in the community.  

She said that she noticed what a difference it made for them to have company, even once a week, and during the one-to-one conversations she had with them, she came to realise how there is nothing else like the feeling of being heard by another.  

Emma has always had an interest in counselling and after experiencing transformative work herself with a couple of different therapists, Emma was inspired to train as a counsellor, and says she has found a career she absolutely loves, and fascinates her on a daily basis.

Emma specialises in working with trauma, anxiety and depression and has worked and lived alongside neurodiversity quite extensively, so is neuroaffirming and accepting of diversity.
