Emma Taylor Person-Centred Psychotherapist London E8Emma Taylor:

Humanistic Integrative Psychodynamic Counsellor (BACP)

Life’s challenges can often feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck, isolated, or uncertain about how to proceed. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety or low self-esteem, dealing with relationship problems, or looking for support during a major life change, you don’t have to go through it alone.

What to Expect:
We will create a safe and supportive environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment.

I aim to help you build resilience, develop meaningful connections, and embark on a path toward improved well-being.

My Approach:
My therapeutic approach is based on compassion, empathy, and evidence-based methods, customized to meet your specific needs and promote open dialogue.

If we decide to work together, we will progress at a pace that suits you. Together, we can examine patterns, difficult emotions, ingrained beliefs, and past experiences that may need to be processed or reconsidered.

I am a Humanistic Integrative Psychodynamic Counsellor, utilizing a variety of therapeutic methods tailored to each client’s needs. These methods include Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Counselling, and Gestalt therapy.

Next Steps:
Finding the right therapist is important, and not every therapist will be the perfect fit for every client. To help determine if I am the right therapist for you, I offer a free, no-obligation 25-minute call. During this call, I will describe my approach, listen to your needs, and provide you with the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Subsequent sessions will be 50-minutes long.

Availability:
I offer sessions in the morning and evening, and provide both in-person and virtual sessions to accommodate your needs. Please contact me for current availability.

Fees:
My standard fee is £65 per session.
I offer a sliding scale, £40-£55, for those who are struggling financially, through HQ’s Concessionary Rate service. Please contact me for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy. Simply get in touch with us using the Reduced-Rate help and advice form and one of our fully qualified therapists can work with you to make sure you get the right advice you need in order to receive the correct Reduced-Rate therapy and counselling services you require.

Our practitioners deal with a wide range of therapy issues using different types of therapy modalities tailored to the types of clients we work with. We also cater for people who are beset with financial difficulties, offering them services ranging from low-cost therapy to working with seasoned, qualified and accredited talking therapists.
