Emma Harris
Person-centred/humanistic counsellorAbout Me
Hello, I'm Emma. I offer therapy for a range of issues with a specialist interest in infertility and perinatal counselling. I am a highly empathic, real and compassionate professional and I am able to support you through your pain, hurt, healing and growth.
It isn't often, in our everyday lives, that we feel truly heard, understood and accepted without sensing judgement or criticism from others. I deeply acknowledge and understand the loneliness that comes from struggling in silence with life's difficulties. Therapy offers you a calm space to begin to tell your story; permission to pause and reflect on what you have been through, validate your response to trauma and loss and gently navigate the path forward. I will support you on your therapeutic journey, gently empowering you to realise your inner resources and ways of coping and navigating your world so that you feel more in control.
I incorporate different therapeutic approaches depending on individual client's needs and have experience working with bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, mental/emotional abuse and life-limiting diagnosis. Specialist interests include infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, traumatic birth experiences, TFMR and postnatal support.
You may be feeling sad, angry, scared or scarred by your experience. Perhaps isolated because the outside world doesn't see or accommodate your emotional despair? It can feel daunting to ask for support when we feel we 'should' be coping, but it is a sign of great strength and commitment to take the first step forward. I would love to hear from you to see how we can work together.
