About me and my therapy practice

“With Emilia's help, I was able to better understand how past events have shaped me and my view of the world, and work through to a place where I am much happier as a person and confident about my life moving forwards.”

I am a Ƶaccredited counsellor and psychotherapist and an ex-City lawyer. Before training as a therapist, I worked as a lawyer in the City and internationally for some of the world's leading financial institutions and law firms.

I offer a warm, empathic and thoughtful space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences and begin to understand yourself more deeply.

My approach draws on psychodynamic, attachment and Jungian theories, alongside insights from neuroscience. I work flexibly and adapt the way I work to each individual.

I am interested in your story and in what can emerge when there is a safe and supportive space in which to explore it. My aim is to help you develop greater self-awareness, feel more secure in yourself and create space for different choices.

Sessions offered in Tunbridge Wells and worldwide online.


Practice description

I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy to adults aged 18 and over. I work with people from a range of backgrounds and adapt my approach to the needs of each individual.

Working with Lawyers

As a former City lawyer, I understand the particular pressures of working in law. I work with lawyers experiencing burnout, anxiety, stress, career uncertainty or simply finding that the demands of the profession have become difficult to sustain. Therapy can provide a space to step back, make sense of what is happening and think about what you want next.

Working with Neurodivergent Adults

I also work with neurodivergent adults, including those exploring or coming to terms with an ADHD or autistic identity. Therapy can offer a space to make sense of your experiences, understand yourself differently and navigate the pressures of work, relationships and everyday life.

CBT for Menopause

I offer evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for menopause, grounded in British Menopause Society guidance and recommended by NICE. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, disturbed sleep, hot flushes, night sweats, stress and confidence, and can be used alongside HRT or as an option for women who cannot or prefer not to take HRT.

I offer sessions in-person in Tunbridge Wells and online worldwide.


My first session

In our first session, we will talk about what has brought you to counselling or psychotherapy and what you are hoping for from it. I will ask you some questions and begin to get to know you and understand a little more about what you have been going through.

It can also be a chance simply to start talking and perhaps to unload some of what you have been carrying. You don't need to have everything worked out or know exactly what you want to say.

This is an opportunity for us to see what it is like to talk together and whether you feel I might be the right person to work with. We can then think together about whether you would like to continue.
