Therapeutic Counsellor Emma Swiatek (my pronouns are She/Her)

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed with life’s challenges and struggling to cope with your thoughts and feelings? Would it help to talk to someone outside your normal circle of friends and family?

I am a qualified counsellor, working face to face, offering a warm and empathic space to come and explore your thoughts and feelings in confidence. The sessions are your space to use as you wish and together we can think about whatever you feel you want to bring to the session. I work using an integrative approach which means that I draw on both person-centred and psychodynamic theories which can be tailored to meet an individual’s needs. This can lead us to think and reflect on current difficulties as well exploring past experiences or relationships that may have an impact on how we are today. At times we can feel stuck with experiences and relationships in the past getting in the way of us living in the present.

Feeling heard and having the space to talk things through in a non-judgmental environment can lead to a better understanding of ourselves and our thought processes which can give clarity and the possibility to find a path forward to positive change.

I work with adults, 18 years and above, who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief and loss or are just stuck and struggling to navigate their way through whatever they are experiencing.

I understand that calling a counsellor and reaching out for support can feel daunting, but it is important to find one that you feel you can connect with. Please feel free to get in touch and we can talk about what would be most helpful for you. If you would like to have an initial session we can arrange a mutually convenient time and day.
