Emily Speed

Welcome to the world of counselling, it would be a privilege to work with you. Whatever is causing you difficulty, as a relational and integrative counsellor I can draw on a variety of techniques to help you meet your needs and understand what is going on.

About me

I am an integrative counsellor, meaning our work draws on a variety of counselling modalities and techniques. At my core, I practise Gestalt therapy blended with Internal Family Systems (IFS). This relational approach focuses on the “here and now” and welcomes the different parts of ourselves.

Our work may include exploring physical symptoms alongside emotional experiences and, where appropriate, incorporating creative techniques.  Ultimately, I believe the relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. Our sessions would be client-lead whilst also bringing my authentic self to the relationship.

I am also supported by almost ten years’ experience working with:
• Children and young people under 18
• Families
• Individuals with faith-based backgrounds

Whatever is causing difficulty or challenge, and however you’re feeling, I offer a supportive space.

I have concessionary rates available for different circumstances - book a free consultation with me to discuss these.
