The Emergent Self

Home

Welcome to The Emergent Self - I offer psychotherapy and counselling in East Lancashire. I trained at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy and hold a Post Graduate Level 7 Diploma in Transactional Analysis. I am trained to work with adults from an integrative perspective. I offer face to face sessions in East Lancashire and remote sessions for those who wish to work online.

Services

I offer one-to-one psychotherapy for adults, both in-person and online, tailored to whatever you're bringing — whether that's anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or simply a sense that something isn't quite working the way you'd like it to. Sessions typically run 50 minutes, usually on a weekly basis, though this can be adapted to what suits you. The pace and direction of our work is something we shape together — there's no fixed programme, just a steady, honest process of understanding. .

About Me

As a young woman, I was acutely aware of not feeling OK without understanding why. I often recall looking inside myself and picturing a tangled ball of wool I couldn't even begin to unravel. I began therapy, and within the safety of the therapeutic relationship I began to unpick and make sense of my internal world. Over time, my sense of self began to emerge. I’ve come to think of the emergent self as the ability to experience feelings, impulses and needs exactly as they are, before they are suppressed or adapted to suit the environment. My therapist's acceptance, compassion and attunement gave me the safety I needed to begin trusting my own experience and this is what I offer you today: a safe space to explore who you are and allow your authentic self to emerge.
