Counsellor

Emma is a person-centred counsellor offering one-to-one, face-to-face therapeutic counselling to men in North Cornwall.

Person-centred counselling is described by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as follows: “The counsellor will treat you as the expert on yourself, as no one else can know exactly what it is like to be you. They will not judge you, no matter what you bring to the session. This helps to build a trustworthy relationship in which you can feel free and supported to disclose whatever is troubling you.”

Emma describes what she does as a non-directive talking therapy, meaning that she will not try to direct or control what you say.

Talking therapy is a great way to explore what is going on in your life. It doesn’t have to be about big life events or past traumas; it can also be about you feeling stuck, lonely, bored, lost or sad. It may even be that you don’t know where you are going. You might just need to talk to someone about something you just can’t talk to anybody else about, and this can be causing you a lot of stress and worry. There are so many things in life that can make us feel like we are out of control and don’t know where to go or what to do. Talking to someone who is there to listen and to see the world from your perspective, offering you a safe space to be yourself, can really help you to reconnect with yourself and to understand yourself better.

It is important that you have a safe environment to do this and that you are fully supported along the way. Having somebody to talk to who is empathetic and non-judgemental can help you to feel that you are not alone and, most importantly, to feel that you have a voice and that you are heard.

It is totally understandable for you to be considering counselling but to not quite know what to expect, or what it entails. Emma can explain everything to you on your first contact and at the beginning of your first session.
