Emily Collett (MBACP) – Psychotherapist

Hi, I’m Emily, a qualified Psychotherapist, offering you a calm, down to earth space to work through what is going on for you, with no judgement whatsoever.

Whether you want to feel more like yourself again, work through a particular challenge you are experiencing or you aren’t sure where to start but know that something needs to change; I am here to help you. Together, we will work on creating an awareness and understanding of your current challenges and experiences, building tools that you can use to help yourself in day-to-day life.

My approach: As an Integrative Psychotherapist, the approaches I draw upon include person-centered, psychodynamic (how the past impacts the present) and emotion-focused. I will tailor my approach to meet your needs, working at a pace that suits you. There is never just one way to do things in counselling, whether we talk things through or use exercises along the way, we will work together to find the best way forwards for you.

What I can help you with: Common areas of counselling I help people work through include: Low mood, anxiety, depression, feeling hopeless, panic attacks, confidence issues, feelings of not coping, relationship difficulties, grief and bereavement, work-related stress, financial worries, traumatic experiences, feeling disconnected & more.

Are you involved in sport? I also specialise in supporting sportspeople. Through working in elite sport, I understand the unique challenges being involved in sport can bring and am here to support you through these. Counselling can also help you to embrace your mental fitness, alongside your physical fitness and help you to become the best sportsperson and person you can be. Our work may also include: coping with pressure, feeling like a failure, lack of concentration, injury and deselection issues, a loss of identity and uncertainty about the future.
