Emily is a clinical psychologist with experience working with adults in both private practice and inpatient mental health and addiction settings. Emily strives to create a warm and accepting environment where clients feel safe, heard, and supported.

With training in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, and schema therapy, Emily tailors treatment to each client’s unique needs and experiences. She is particularly passionate about helping clients understand and accept the different parts of themselves that may be influencing their thoughts, feelings, and behaviour outside of their awareness. Developing this understanding can help clients feel less driven by old patterns and more able to make choices about how they want to live.

Emily has also completed training in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), which, alongside EMDR, she sees as a valuable addition or alternative to traditional talk therapy. These approaches offer a way of working with difficult, unresolved experiences through the brain, body, and nervous system, rather than relying solely on talking about them. They can be particularly helpful when clients find that talking about their experiences alone does not bring the change they are looking for.

Alongside this deeper work, Emily places importance on developing practical skills and strategies that clients can apply in their daily lives, supporting meaningful and lasting change beyond the therapy room.

Emily works with clients across a range of concerns and areas of personal growth including:

• Self-exploration, identity, and sense of self
• Understanding patterns and behaviours
• Life transitions and adjustment
• Relationships, communication, and boundaries
• Self-esteem, shame, and self-criticism
• Emotional regulation
• Trauma
• Addiction and substance use
• Stress management
• Anxiety and low mood
