Emma Parkinson, BACP

Emma Parkinson is registered in the United Kingdom with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practices with a compassionate, person-focused approach. She works in an integrative way, drawing on her training and experience to tailor sessions to each person's needs and circumstances.

Her work supports people through a wide range of concerns, including understanding the self and neurodiversity, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and self-worth, and the challenges of fitting in the world. She also has experience supporting people who are diagnosed with or awaiting diagnosis for ADHD, Autism, and AudHD, helping them work toward greater self-acceptance and confidence.

Emma’s additional training informs how she structures therapy. She uses trauma-informed and trauma-focused methods alongside health coaching and behavioural activation, and she has further experience related to menopause and mental health. This combination allows her to adapt to co-occurring conditions and complex life situations while maintaining sensitivity and respect for each individual's story.

Emma believes in treating people with dignity and compassion and in co-creating a treatment plan that reflects the client's goals and values. She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and is prepared to support people through that first step and the work that follows.
