Keith
Counsellor
Hi I'm Keith. I'm an integrative counsellor which means I'm trained in different modalities of therapy. I specialise in person centred, CBT and psychodynamic therapies, meaning I can work to a clients individual needs using one or all of the therapies I'm trained in. I provide a non-judgemental, empathic, safe space for clients to explore and process what's going on for themselves. I work with adults 18 and over. We are all unique as individuals, you are the expert on you, as nobody has walked in your shoes or lived your life. I just give the client a space to work through for themselves what's going on for them, and to get the answers they need, with help and guidance.

Denice
Counsellor and Life Coach
Hello, I'm Denice.
I offer a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic environment for you to process your thoughts and feelings. I work with children and young people from the age of 4-18 and adults. I am a certified life coach, and work with general issues and work in an integrative way. I work in Emerald on a Friday.

Tom
Counsellor
Hi, I'm Tom. I am a person-centered counsellor. But what does that mean to you? Being a person-centered counsellor means you are at the center of the work that we do together. I believe that you as a person are the expert on your life and your lived experiences, this means that you know what is best for you, I am not the expert. I create a warm, safe, and open space where we can work together to support you to explore your unique personal challenges, both past and present. You are the expert in your life and I can simply be available to help you navigate, explore, and manage any emotions or concerns you may have throughout your self-exploration journey.
​I work with both adults and young people, offering sessions from Emerald Therapy Services on Saturdays.

Kerry
Counsellor
Hi, I’m Kerry, a Counsellor for children and young people. The way in which I work is founded in the person centred approach. I strongly believe that we all have the answers we seek but recognise that there will be times where we need some support in finding them. Sometimes this process can be difficult and I am here to support you to explore what is happening for you.

Faern
Counsellor
​
Hi, I’m Faern!
I am an Integrative counsellor which is a combination of different types of therapy and a holistic way of helping. Ultimately what that means is that all of our work together would be centred around you and what works best for you, looking at both current situations as well as anything that could relate to the past in a safe, empathic and non-judgemental space.
I have worked with a broad range of things including but not limited to anxiety, depression, health-related anxiety, bereavement, loss, grief, identity, relationships, guilt, loss of motivation, work-related stress, boundaries, and negative thoughts.
I offer face to face sessions on Fridays at Emerald Therapy and also have some online availability.

Jo
Counsellor
We are all individuals with our own unique outlook on the world, and as an Integrative Counsellor, I use a tailored mix of counselling models, based on a Person-centred approach (with you in control), to find the best way of working for your specific needs. I will walk alongside you to help you identify any concerns or issues that are affecting you, explore them safely and confidentially, and support you in rediscovering your inner knowing to overcome them, as I believe we are the experts in our own lives. I have experience in working with domestic and sexual abuse, relationship issues, menopause and peri-menopause, anxiety, depression, physical illness, bereavement, concerns around diet and food, as well as the stress of just being a human being in these times. We can spend time processing those feelings of vulnerability that can leave us unmoored in our present lives. Sometimes we just need a place to download.

Lucy
Counsellor
Hi, I’m Lucy. I’m a person-centred counsellor with eight years’ experience working within Adult Mental Health Services prior to qualifying as a counsellor. I hope to offer a warm, safe space to anyone who feels they need room to explore where they are in life, and to work alongside you while you process any historical or current challenges you may be experiencing.
I provide a non-judgemental environment, where support will be offered to you as we explore together anything which may feel too overwhelming to face on your own. As a person-centred counsellor I am
fully committed to the belief we are all the experts in our own world, however that doesn’t mean we have to navigate those worlds alone, and hopefully I can ease that feeling for you, supporting you on your journey. I work with anyone aged 18+ and am available to offer sessions at Emerald Therapy Services
on Thursday 9am-2pm each week.
