I was very fortunate to find Emma as my first therapist and felt comfortable from my very first session. Fast forward a year and a half later, Emma has helped me overcome a lot of personal challenges and we’ve had many thought-provoking and helpful conversations. Emma is kind and patient, I was able to open my mind each session and share whatever I needed to on the day, no matter how big or small the topic. Our sessions have taught me a lot and I’m very grateful for her time and help.

I don’t often write reviews, but feel it would be appropriate here as I am really upset by how my session opened. For the first time in my life I am free of those people whom seek to make me believe I am an awful person that deserves to be treated badly. On my pre-appointment questionnaire I gave honest answers, including that I did, on occasion, have suicidal thoughts, which shouldn’t be too surprising given my life history and experiences. I sought therapy to help to process these emotions and build a more positive and fulfilling relationship life. But rather than first finding out the pertinent issues in my life, Emma zoned in on my occasional suicidal thoughts and commented that she believed there might be a safeguarding issue. I interpreted this to mean that she believed I ought to be sectioned for my own safety. Yet thoughts are most certainly not the same as actions. Surely, a more appropriate, non-judgemental response would be something like: “I see you occasionally have suicidal thoughts, would you be comfortable telling me a little bit more about what has happened to you, to help me understand what is causing this episodic emotional distress.” What I did appreciate from Emma were signposts for perimenopause/menopause support, hence the three star rating. But, that said, I will not be booking another session. I didn’t feel safe enough here to talk about complex traumatic experiences that underpin my emotional distress.
