Emma Murray

Emma is an Integrative therapist, working with adults and couples. She supports clients with anxiety and stress, as well as with issues in relationships, whether romantic or family relationships.

“I aim to offer a warm and human conversation where we can explore what’s difficult for you and work together to better understand it. I recognise that past experience can shape how we feel and act, and that making these connections can deepen our understanding of ourselves. I also appreciate that clients want to think about what’s happening in the here and now and work with that.”

Specialisms:

• Anxiety, burnout and overwhelm
• Relational issues – including romantic, family, friendships or work relationships
• Life transitions – adjusting to parenthood, life changes, and the stage of life transitions
• Couples Counselling

Through therapy, clients often describe feeling more grounded and confident — both in themselves and in their relationships.

Background and Experience

Emma qualified as a counsellor and psychotherapist in 2018. She is accredited with the BACP and was previously clinical lead for a low-cost counselling charity in London. Prior to becoming a counsellor, she worked with children and young people. She has an interest in creativity, stories and the narratives we tell about ourselves.

Emma draws on attachment theory to help her clients better understand themselves and their relationships. Whilst incorporating aspects of CBT where helpful, Emma specialises in working with issues such as anxiety in an integrative and holistic way, often supporting clients for whom CBT has felt less helpful.

She offers both short-term and open-ended therapy and adapts her work to meet the evolving needs of each client.

Couples work

Emma offers a supportive and non-judgemental space for couples to think about what’s happening in their relationship – something that can be difficult to find time for in busy, multi-faceted lives, and that can feel very daunting.

Emma supports couples to listen to each other, to explore difficulties, to better understand the needs and feelings of each person and how these are communicated and thought about within the relationship, so that couples can gain greater clarity, connection and/or find ways forward.

Qualifications:

• MA in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy
• Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy
• Certificate in Couples Counselling (expected completion: Autumn 2026)
