Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, my name is Emma. I’m 46 and a person-centred therapist based in Blackpool, North West England, with over six years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My initial focus was bereavement counselling, helping clients process loss and grief. Over time, I’ve expanded my experience and training to support a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, psychosis, self-harm, suicide, suicide prevention/intervention, and suicide loss survivors.
I believe therapy is a journey of growth—not just for clients, but for therapists too. I am continuously developing my skills to ensure I provide effective, compassionate support tailored to each individual’s needs.
As a developing Art therapist, I integrate creative, visual, and colour-based techniques into my sessions, helping clients express emotions that may feel difficult to put into words. Colour can be a powerful tool in understanding feelings—it allows us to explore emotions intuitively, creating a deeper connection to thoughts and experiences. Through imagery, artistic exploration, and creative exercises, we uncover insights that make healing feel natural and personal.
I also bring lived insight into accessibility and chronic health challenges, which informs my practice with empathy and nuance. My experience with sign language allows me to connect with clients who communicate non-verbally or are part of the Deaf community, offering a more inclusive therapeutic space. I understand how chronic illness can shape emotional landscapes and identity, and I hold space for those navigating these experiences with sensitivity and respect. This perspective helps me attune to the unique needs of each individual, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, understanding, and shared humanity.
As a spiritual person, I often introduce meditation and grounding techniques—especially for those experiencing debilitating anxiety—to support emotional balance and healing. Grounding can provide stability, helping individuals reconnect with the present moment, regulate overwhelming emotions, and regain a sense of control. Everything we do is designed around what feels comfortable and beneficial for you.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. It’s completely normal to have doubts, uncertainties, or even fears about opening up to someone new. You might wonder where to begin, whether your feelings make sense, or how therapy can actually help—but you don’t need to have all the answers before you start. Therapy is a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, without pressure or judgment. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating a difficult time, or simply seeking understanding, I’ll be here to walk alongside you.
Your journey is yours, and I’m here to support you in making sense of it in a way that feels safe, meaningful, and empowering. If you’re ready to take that step, I’d love to help.
Welcome.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person work.
One major benefit is the flexibility it offers. Clients can choose the way that feels most comfortable to them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapists involved in online work are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch to a different therapist at any time if they feel another fit would be better.
