Emmy Gibbs

 I am a psychotherapist, working with patients in Norwich and online. I can offer you a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space in which we can work together to explore your concerns and the forces that may cause you suffering. I work within the psychoanalytic/psychodynamic tradition: this means that I think about and work with those aspects of one’s experience which are unconscious or poorly understood. I am currently completing my clinical training.

I have many years of experience working with people in need of help and support, previously as a solicitor representing victims of trafficking, abuse and labour exploitation and with asylum seekers. As such I have particular experience working with victims of trauma and abuse and those struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. My work as a lawyer involved supporting victims to piece together the story of their lives so that it could be understood as part of their legal case by the authorities or by the courts, enabling them to obtain the compensation or sanctuary so desperately needed to move forward in their lives. In my work as a psychotherapist, I build on the skills I developed as a lawyer to help patients to make sense of their lives so that they feel relieved of suffering and able to move forward in a positive way.
