Hi, I’m Emily, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. I work with adults across the lifespan, as well as children and young people, supporting people to navigate anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges and the impact of difficult experiences.

I have experience supporting clients across community mental health and private practice settings. Many of the people I work with are navigating periods of stress, burnout or uncertainty, and are looking for a space to slow down, reflect and make sense of what they’re experiencing. Creating a safe and supportive environment where people feel comfortable, heard and understood is central to how I work.

My approach to therapy is relational and trauma-informed, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I tailor therapy to each individual, recognising that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship, and I work collaboratively with clients to support meaningful and sustainable change.

What I value most about therapy is the human side of the work — the courage it takes to explore inner experiences and the relief that can come from feeling truly seen and understood. This is what drew me to Little Window: a space where connection and safety sit at the heart of the therapeutic journey, and where people are supported with warmth and respect.

Areas of interest:

• Anxiety
• Stress and burnout
• Life transitions and adjustment
• Relationship difficulties
• Trauma
• Depression
• Grief and loss
• Self-esteem and identity
• Emotional regulation

Alongside my work with adults, I also support children and young people experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, confidence and self-esteem challenges, social or peer concerns, and adjustment to family or life changes. When working with younger clients, I take a developmentally sensitive approach and often incorporate creative and interactive strategies to help them express themselves and build coping skills.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll most likely find me at the beach, reading, or going for a walk.
