Feeling stuck in self-doubt, anxiety, or shame? You’re not alone.

Life’s challenges—whether anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles—can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You might be carrying the weight of past experiences, struggling with self-worth, or feeling like no one truly understands. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about creating a space where you can process, heal, and reconnect with who you truly are.

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Emily, a UK-registered therapist passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with warmth, compassion, and deep understanding. I have worked in therapeutic organisations and online with clients from all over the world.

Who I Help

I specialize in working with:

-Survivors of sexual abuse, childhood trauma, and relational wounds who are navigating the complex emotions of shame, trust, and healing.

-Expats, migrants, and digital nomads who feel uprooted, lost, or disconnected in new environments.

-Individuals struggling with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and low self-worth, helping them reclaim their confidence and inner voice.

-Those experiencing grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges, seeking clarity and emotional resilience.

-People living with anxiety (general, social, health-related, existential) who want to break free from cycles of overthinking and fear.

-Those struggling with depression and low mood, looking to rediscover purpose, motivation, and hope.

How I Work

I take an integrative approach, combining existential and psychodynamic therapy to help you:

-Make sense of your experiences and find deeper meaning in your struggles.

-Recognize how past patterns influence your present emotions and relationships.

-Develop self-compassion and let go of shame, judgment, and self-criticism.

-Build emotional resilience so you feel more grounded and secure in yourself.

At the core of my work is the therapeutic relationship—a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely and feel truly seen and understood.

If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you on your journey- in your way and at your pace.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
