Emma Poxon

Emma Poxon creates a warm, safe space where people can bring whatever is on their mind, however difficult that may feel. As a person-centred therapist she aims to be congruent and authentic, offering non-judgemental support so clients can explore what matters to them - whether that relates to the past, present, or future.

She works alongside clients, offering companionship and support while helping them build a therapeutic bond and discover what approaches suit them best. The person-centred model Emma uses is focused on empowering individuals to be the experts of their own experience, with the therapist taking a non-directive stance.

Emma holds a BSc (Hons) Psychology, an undergraduate degree in psychology, and an MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, a master’s qualification in person-centred experiential counselling and psychotherapy practice. These qualifications give her insight into both the scientific and the more experiential, arts-based aspects of therapy.

Her role is to offer unconditional positive regard and empathy while allowing clients to lead the direction of sessions. This approach can feel different from other therapies and may take some adjustment, but centring the client’s experience is central to developing self-trust and empowerment.

Emma and her clients check in regularly to ensure therapy is meeting their needs and to decide together how to work toward long-term aims or session-by-session objectives. Person-centred therapy can include structure when that is helpful, or be entirely without set structure if that better suits the client. Please message Emma before booking any live sessions.

She appreciates the care involved in finding a compatible therapist and is genuinely excited for people beginning their therapy journey. Emma wishes those seeking support the best of luck and hopes to speak with them soon.
