Addiction

As a retired police officer, mother and currently employed as a secondary school mentor, I have extensive and varied experience.

I worked for seventeen years as a primary care counsellor in GP surgeries.

I have been a GP for 25 years, and for 20 of those years I have been incorporating the Human Givens approach into my work with patients.

Thank you for visiting my page.

Sometimes we all need a little help to overcome some of life's twists & turns.

A few of the areas which show up in today's world include: 

- Feeling anxious, or tense
- Overthinking & over worrying
- Lacking in self-confidence and self-belief
- Panic episodes
- Violent outbursts
- Addiction
- Low-mood and low self-esteem
- Stress and overwhelm
- Losing a loved one through bereavement
- Trauma and PTSD
- Pregnancy loss, Infertility and IVF
- Lacking direction in life
- The impact of the COVID pandemic

If you can relate to any of the above, then I can help.  You will receive a warm welcome and confidential support from day one.  My aim is simple:  To support you 'be the best you can be', for you to live a life you can love.

I run face-to-face sessions in Yorkshire including in Leeds, York, Hull and Bridlington. I run online sessions wherever you are in the world. 

I have a deep understanding about mental health and wellbeing, and experience of working with people in tnany different situations in their lives. Clients feed back that I am calm, warm and approachable - that they feel accepted and comfortable being themselves. The approach aims to help people to overcome problems that might at first feel overwhelming, breaking down complex issues into practical, manageable steps. My goal is to build hope, motivation and a clear focus to achieve the positive changes that matter to you. 

Emily is currently not taking on any new clients.

Following many years working in the social care sector with vulnerable adults, in which I increasingly found the Human Givens approach extremely beneficial, I have now moved into private practice.

I have a long history of working with people to support their development and am skilled in helping people overcome difficulties to lead fulfilling lives.
