Counselling with Emma B
Hello, I’m Emma
I’m a qualified person-centred counsellor based on the Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire border in Letchworth.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply unsure where to turn, you don’t have to face it alone. Talking things through can help you move forward and find resolution. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can be heard – either in person or online.
While I work from a person-centred approach – meaning you set the focus of our sessions – I also draw on a range of therapeutic methods to best support your journey. My aim is to provide a calm, non-judgmental environment where you can pause, reflect, and explore what’s on your mind without pressure.
Together, we can look at your past experiences, understand how they’re shaping your present, and find new ways forward with clarity and confidence.
Everyone is welcome here - no matter your gender, sexuality, or relationship style. Your experiences are unique and deeply personal, and I believe your counselling should reflect that – tailored to you, your needs, and your journey.
My Journey into Counselling
Starting counselling can feel daunting – I know, because I’ve been there myself.
When I first considered counselling, my partner and I were navigating the adoption process, and the idea of sharing deeply personal experiences with someone I didn’t know felt both vulnerable and intimidating.
What I discovered was a safe, non-judgmental space where I could be heard and understood.
That experience showed me just how powerful counselling can be, and it inspired me to train as a counsellor so I could offer the same support to others.
Qualifications and Experience
I have completed the nationally recognised 4-year Diploma in Counselling Studies and continue to engage in ongoing professional development.
I am currently studying for a Level 5 qualification in Somatic-Informed Trauma Therapy, enhancing my ability to support clients who have experienced trauma.
Counselling is my second career, and I believe this brings a wealth of life experience into my practice. I also volunteer at a hospice in Letchworth, supporting people who are recently bereaved – work I find both meaningful and rewarding.
My Approach to Counselling
I work in a Person-Centred way, which means our sessions are guided by what matters most to you.
I believe in your ability to grow, heal, and find your own answers – and I’ll be alongside you as we explore whatever you bring. I also draw on other approaches if they feel helpful for your journey.
If you’re curious, worried, or unsure about counselling, you’ve already taken the first step by being here. I’m glad you found your way, and I look forward to meeting you.
