Reaching out for therapeutic support is a brave first step.

I work with the ‘unspoken’ to both develop and deepen self-awareness in therapy.

I help clients find their voice and together, we explore ways to live life more fully.

I work with a range of presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, loss, OCD, low self-esteem, relationships, stress, self-harm. This is not an exhaustive list.

Often themes emerge during reflection in therapy that may resonate with old patterns no longer helpful.

Exploring these themes within the safety of an effective therapeutic relationship can create new ways of thinking and enable change.

Sessions support you at a pace that feels safe; everyone is so very different.

Therapy is confidential space without judgement.

In addition to being an accredited member of the BACP, I am member of the Energy Psychology Network and Association for Comprehensive Psychology (ACEP). I work to the code of ethics provided by the BACP: Ethical Frame

As Thích Nhất Hạnh said.."No Mud, No Lotus" .. I understand this to mean that from muddy situations, beautiful things can grow. Rumi said this differently; "Being a candle is not easy; in order to give light, one must first burn." Therapy is a courageous path, a path to meet compassion, curiousity and acceptance. It is possible for you to shine as you deserve

Therapy

Some background

In 2011, my training began with the Metanoia Institute spanning multiple therapeutic modalities (Humanistic Counselling Diploma and BSc in Reflective Practice). Recently, I have integrated working with subtle energy, earning a Diploma in Energy Psychotherapy (2021). These methods are a deeper way of working with clients where appropriate. Despite being simple and gentle, these techniques can be highly effective to help calm the nervous system, connect with rooted old beliefs, let go of behaviour that no longer serves and feel more empowered.

With over 14 years in therapeutic practice, I value each and every client's individual story, committing to continued professional development to keep growing within the therapeutic field. I work from home in a dedicated therapy room with clients who may be anxious, depressed, overcoming trauma and/or managing symptoms of PTSD. Please do let me know if you have any questions as they relate to you. My preference is to work in person. Online sessions are completely possible also.

I work within the Ethical Framework of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with young people and adults both short term and across a longer term. I can work with affiliated insurance companies such as AXA. It would be usual to work weekly. Sessions carry a 48hr cancellation policy.

Initial Step

I often suggest meeting for an initial session. If having met, you feel you'd like to return, we can agree a therapeutic goal and work to a series of sessions. We can review as often as is comfortable for you

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact counselling@emmasice.com if you have a question or need guidance

Is therapy for me?

There is no hierarchy in suffering and every individual can benefit from having space to enable life to be lived with greater ease. There is no wrong or right way to do it.

How does it work?

Have an initial session and see how you feel. There is no need to commit unless you feel there is value in coming again. Beyond an initial session, it would be usual to work weekly for an agreed period at a regular time.

How long are therapy sessions?

Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long.

Will you be the right therapist for me?

I am fully trained and experienced. I am registered with and accredited by the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). They are one of the main counselling accreditation bodies in the UK and I adhere to their code of ethics. Regardless of training, it is important to feel at ease and only by meeting, will you gain a sense of whether the relational aspect of the therapy is right for you.

How do I know if therapy is working?

There are multiple ways to evaluate the benefit of sessions. Reviewing how we are working is an ongoing process to ensure we work towards agreed therapeutic goals.
