Emma Russell

Hello I'm Emma and I offer a calm, compassionate and confidential space where you can talk about difficult or painful experiences, thoughts and feelings. I will listen sensitively without judgement and will seek to fully understand you, offering my response to enable you to explore and process how you are feeling. Clarifying feelings and being more self-aware can help find a way forward in difficult times, whether this is by seeing your options more clearly or by making the necessary changes you want to make. Our emotions provide valuable information and guidance. They tell us what we want out of life, what we don't want, how we feel about the people in our lives, and what we need to work on. Humanistic counselling encourages self-awareness, self-development, and seeks to help you recognise your strengths and choices in life. This approach recognises that you are the expert and are in control of making your own meanings and beliefs about yourself and others. A space is created for you to talk about whatever is on your mind, to explore behaviours, and to consider and act on your feelings. I work with individuals from the age of 16 upwards and can work with you online or for face to face counselling
