“It has been a really bad year for me, I lost my job because of coronavirus and I felt really alone, I just didn’t want to burden my family and friends. Even after just a few sessions I am starting to feel a bit more motivated to get a new job and I am finally able to speak about my anxiety after many years, don’t hesitate like me, give it a go”

“Getting a breast cancer diagnosis was the toughest thing that ever happened to me, I felt so lost and when I finished treatment, I knew I needed to talk. It made such a difference to have someone really listen and allow me to share how awful I still felt, starting to slowly feel more hopeful and looking forward to my life”

Jenny

“The neurodiversity workshops at Grow Your Potential have given me a chance to step back and learn about myself and practical ways to manage my anxiety and stress, I have loved them!”

“I have had a lot of counselling over the years but psychotherapy is different, much more what I needed. I felt that Emma was more able to help me connect with the deeper reasons for my depression and expertly lead me to the next step in my life. She did challenge me at times but I appreciated that, I really recommend this way of working, it takes time but it gives long term results”

“I have had a lot of counselling over the years but psychotherapy is more indepth and different, much more what I needed.

She did challenge me at times but I appreciated that, I really recommend this way of working, it takes time but it gives long term results”

Alice

“I wanted a different way of working and being in nature during our ‘walk and talk’ sessions gave me a chance to breathe and really process how I was feeling. I really recommend this way of working with anxiety, it is frankly life changing. Emma brings so many skills to her work, there aren’t many Psychotherapists like her in York so grab an appointment if you can!”

Bob

“After losing my husband and sister so close together I was so lost, just wanted to talk about them and how it made me feel in a safe place. It will always feel hurt but Emma made me feel there was no right way to grieve and I am much kinder to myself. She also allowed me to bring some difficult feelings and I never felt judged”

Sarah

“Menopause caused a lot of problems for me, I had high levels of anxiety and felt like I had lost myself. With Emma’s support I came to understand that this often happens to women and that by getting the emotional support and speaking to my GP I could get through this and have a hopeful future. It’s not a magic wand it takes time and patience but I am feeling better and gradually returning to myself ”

Shalya

“I had spent years feeling that I was not moving forward in my life, I felt stuck and drifting. I could not put my finger on what it was but I wanted to discuss whether I had ADHD and my therapy helped me see diagnosis was a possiblity for me. I am now living with ADHD but I am so happy to know more about myself. I love the way Emma always encouraged and supported me!”
