About Caring For You

Hi, I’m Emily. I’m a holistic counsellor and complementary therapist with over 20 years’ experience supporting people through emotional, physical, and life transitions. 

My work weaves together holistic counselling, somatic and body-based therapies, integrative coaching, and energy work, offering a gentle, grounded, and supportive space where deep personal and emotional transformation can unfold safely.

At the heart of my work is a deep care for helping people feel more relaxed, soothed, and connected to themselves — often leading to greater clarity, balance, and a renewed sense of direction.

My natural way of working is to gently support you in re-connecting with yourself, especially if you’ve felt lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body or inner knowing. I work in a nurturing, attuned way, empowering you to rebuild trust in yourself and your life at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer online sessions as well as hands-on treatments near Bridport, Dorset, supporting issues such as pain relief, hormonal balance, emotional wellbeing, and stress from the demands of daily life.

Work Experience

My journey into this work began as a teenager after experiencing the profound impact of truly holistic care — being listened to, supported with warmth, and leaving feeling deeply restored. This experience inspired me to pursue a career in complementary therapies.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Health Sciences: Complementary Therapies from Westminster University and have since worked across a wide range of settings, including university clinics, women’s health services, palliative care, corporate wellbeing, spas, and private practice.

My work is informed by ongoing professional development in a holistic counselling diploma, somatic and body-based approaches (including Bowen Therapy), nervous system regulation, energy work (Reiki), and integrative coaching.

You can find my professional profile on CMA and FindATherapy.org, these are directories that help people explore practitioners offering holistic and counselling support

I now primarily work from Salwayash, near Bridport, Dorset, and online. Read more about all the ways I love to provide care to you in a treatment setting.

A little about me

Outside of my work, I value caring for my own wellbeing through movement, meditation, and holistic support. As a highly sensitive and emotional being, this self-care has been essential and deeply informing of how I work with others.

I love:

  • weight training, kundalini yoga, and dancing

  • spending time in nature and breathing in the sea air

  • caring for my plants and spending time with my four cats

  • spirit animal and spirit guide connection, meditation, including the practice of Dzogchen

If you feel drawn to my work or would like to explore how I can support you, I’d love to hear from you.
