“Unlock your inner resilience as we journey together toward healing, embracing the transformative power that lies within.”

Em has been passionate about helping people since she trained and worked as a counsellor at Nightline, when she was a student in Edinburgh in the 1980s. She has always enjoyed short term work where change is asked for and expected. When working at Willesden Day Hospital where she did assessments, the waiting lists were long and an assessment was viewed as a session where good work was done and the person went away different from when they arrived. This has led to her particular passion of ISTDP (Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) inspired therapy and supervision, through a route of training, lecturing and writing. ISTDP stands for intensive short term dynamic Psychotherapy. It is a very interactive and demanding therapy which is not for the faint hearted. Em also runs on-going monthly ISTDP inspired supervision groups on zoom.

ISTDP Is a very direct therapy focusing on identifying your own defences and anxieties, which is in-depth work, deactivating your super-ego and attending to your deep feelings to their fullest extent. If you do this you will have the chance to work through your own individual trauma, you will change, feel freerer, more compassionate to yourself and others and stronger and more grounded as you navigate life.

My therapeutic approach works best for those who are serious about wanting to change.
