About me
COUNSELLING, COACHING
Emily Hamlet MA, BsC, MBACP
I truly believe that we all have, within ourselves the tools needed to live a happier and healthier life and if I can help you to access those tools then the possibilities are endless. The road may be long and with plenty of twists and turns but if we keep putting one foot in front of the other, we will only move forward.
My counselling training begun back in 2011 and I now hold both a Masters and a Bachelor of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am a registered member of the BACP.
I work with clients of all backgrounds, ethnicities, sexualities, genders and religions who are suffering from mental health issues such as depression (including post natal and antenatal depression), anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, and stress.
My core counselling training was is in Person Centred Therapy however, I have since studied many different forms of therapy and now work to an integrative model, including elements of CBT, Gestalt, Mindfulness and ACT Therapy within my sessions.
I started seeing clients in 2013 and since then, my career has taken me in many different directions. As well as seeing adult clients who were experiencing a vast range of mental health issues, I have gained a wealth of experience of working with adolescents and young adults.
People start to heal the moment they feel heard.
I have done an extensive amount of research and work surrounding body confidence, self love and self-esteem and this has become a particular area of specialism and genuine passion for me.
I work collaboratively with clients of all ages to explore their feelings, the root of their thoughts and to identify their goals. We then work together to combine person centered counselling with some more practical exercises to help combat the negative thinking patterns and improve the clients relationship with themselves.
Body confidence and low self-esteem have fast become two of the most prevalent mental health issues that we are facing today. The significant rise of social media in recent years has had a debilitating affect on many peoples expectations, making them unrealistic and unachievable.
If you take nothing else from reading my website today then please take this.
You are worth more than you know.
Another area of my specialisms is supporting clients who are experiencing fertility difficulties, antenatal depression, post natal depression and all additional parenting stresses. These are areas of mental health that still have a significant stigma around them and clients often feel too ashamed to seek help. I offer non judgemental and fully confidential support to both men and women, at any stage in the process of starting and raising a family. I will work with you to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable within our sessions and to make counselling as accessible as possible for you.
You are not alone.
