“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart”

-Helen Keller

Looking to Understand Yourself and The World Around you Better?

With 17 years as a therapist (UKCP) and 10 years as a physics teacher (PGCE), I love to help people discover their inner selves.

Hope you’re keeping well in these rather strange times!



Strange times sometimes call for strange methods. Systemic Constellations are often described as strange, and I definitely found them strange the first time I witnessed one on the Greek island of Skyros eleven years ago. But I have dedicated a lot of time and energy into learning about them in the most grounded way I can from teachers, books and experiences due to my rather sceptical nature of anything that seems supernatural or magical.



My father was a medical doctor and my mother and 2 older sister were nurses, so I grew up with talks of different ways to help and heal the body. Being younger and not in the medical profession, I was able to observe and ponder some of what I heard. 


I ended up teaching physics for 10 years as I was drawn to understanding the world, guess I thought they had the body question figured out!


But then when I realised that teaching was of course dependent on the actual teacher (me) and the students being taught , I also realised that the physics’ theory that when observing an experiment this always changes it, I started being more interested in human dynamics than just pure Physics. 


Fast forward another 20 years and 17 years as a practising psychotherapist, 9 years as a mother, as well as all the other many relationships that have taught me so much ,I have discovered many methods of helping us navigate this strange world. I trained for 4 years at The Bowlby Centre studying attachment theory and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I still use this as my foundation, but now also use astrology as well as systemic constellations to help myself and all those I come into contact with as much as I possibly can. 


I invite you to my next workshop day in Littlehampton on Saturday November 25th, in the beautifully peaceful Friends Centre. It is an amazing process and I am passionate about passing this knowledge on, as I thank all my teacher’s who have taught me. It is £30 for 10am-5pm. Please get in touch for further information. I want to share this knowledge and need to cover costs, but my main motivation is to heal ourselves and the world around us. 

My name is Emma and I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor based in Littlehampton, West Sussex. I can read Astrological Birth Charts and am trained in Systemic Constellations.


I have over 17 years experience as a psychotherapist and over ten years experience as a teacher. I love helping people to untangle some of their unconscious processes that get stuck inside ourselves. Once we become aware of and acknowledge our hidden patterns we become more free to navigate through the realities of life and choose different ways to be in relationship with oneself and others.


My goal is for people to learn to be their own therapist or counsellor, to learn that their own inner being can guide them so that they can reach the springboard to finding the joy, freedom and growth everyone deserves in life.

Therapy for the Individual

My therapy practice has evolved over the years. I incorporate what I have learnt from my own trainings and life experiences to bring a sense of awareness and authenticity to any problem that is presented to me, be it my own or someone else's. My first therapy training was influenced by John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth, Mary Main, Karen Horney, Alice Miller and Sigmund Freud. It helped me understand the importance of our early childhood experiences.


I have a training in sand-tray and art therapy which was influenced by Alice Miller and Rudolf Steiner, this creative way of exploring problems helps to symbolise the words , which often feel too fleeting. I have had therapy with a Jungian Analyst, which helped me to do my own shadow work , this resulted in cathartic dreams and a renewed sense of individual freedom and an awareness of unhelpful judgements of society.


Systemic Constellations is a therapy developed by Bert Hellinger and has its roots in religion, psychotherapy and tribal healing rituals. It is a powerful way to heal ancestral traumas, by looking at the different parts of ourselves from all the different influences in our lives, included those influences that we now know affect us from the moment we are conceived. I have completed the foundation course with the Centre for Systemic Constellations. I have completed a facilitators practice course with Brendan and Eileen O’Brien of Family Constellations Ireland. I am currently being supervised by some Elders of the Systemic Constellation movement and find Systemic Constellations a very powerful tool to one’s own discovery of self and where we have come from ancestrally , that is still affecting our lives today. I am always keen to share this powerful method to help people live without the entanglements of their ancestors.


Each session is unique and I am always profoundly moved when clients speak from their heart and soul so that together we can move towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. Click here to get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why contact me?

*Right Brain Answer (a more emotionally visceral response)

I love listening to people talking from their heart and soul. I have also experienced my own heart and soul being listened to on many occasions, which is a truly wonderful experience. I hope everyone can experience this in their lives. When we connect with someone on this level our natural self emerges and the answers that we need arrive spontaneously from the dynamic of the intimate relationship.


*Left Brain Answer (a more logical scientific response)

I am a UKCP accredited attachment-based psychotherapist with 12 years experience and I’m a qualified physics teacher, with ten years experience. I have a passion for working with people who want to learn about their own worlds, both outer and inner worlds. We need others to understand ourselves. As Einstein said , ‘no problem can be solved from the mind that created it.’ Research on the best psychotherapists has revealed that being humane and interested in people is a major characteristic needed for the best outcome for clients.

Most people would have no problem seeking professional help for a broken bone, but would be less likely to look for help when they have an emotional problem.

How long will I need counselling or therapy for?

This varies and is up to you. I would recommend having 1 sessions to start with to explore different tools that you need to help yourself with your emotions so that you can continue to 'self- therapy' without a therapist. Some people like to look at themselves deeply and decide on therapy for several months. It is important for us together to always check that you are growing emotionally whilst in therapy. The importance of a therapist is to teach you how to allow your natural growth. The therapist is just a catalyst to foster your independence and then interdependence so that you can live life to it's full potential.

Systemic constellations workshops can be a great way to have a chunk of insight into your life which lots of people find more helpful than individual therapy.

Will therapy help me?

I have a belief that therapy can help anyone. Of course the match between the therapist and the client is very important. After the first session we will decide together if we feel that a working relationship can be established.
