Emma Martin

Emma Martin is a fully qualified person-centred therapist and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), bringing four years of experience working in the United Kingdom.

Before training as a therapist she worked within the mental health sector supporting adults, young adults and families. More recently she has worked with both male and female survivors of rape, sexual abuse, sexual violence and domestic abuse, developing a broad understanding of how people can feel after traumatic experiences.

Emma has supported many people with complex needs across a range of settings and from all walks of life. She recognises that life can present difficult challenges such as illness, bereavement, family problems and relationship issues, and she believes that talking with an experienced professional can make a meaningful difference to how someone feels.

She describes the person-centred approach as the best fit for her practice because she believes the relationship between counsellor and client is central to progress. Emma considers it a privilege to accompany someone on their journey towards a happier life, offering a compassionate, knowledgeable and non-judgemental presence.

Her therapeutic experience covers areas including addiction, bereavement and loss, bereavement through suicide, trauma and anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, gender dysphoria, dementia, suicide, self-harm, dissociative disorder, bipolar and domestic abuse.

Emma works according to the Ethical Framework for the counselling professions and keeps up to date with developments in the field. She will accept clients and their values without judgement and aims to remain by their side in a genuine way while they navigate whatever is going on for them.
