COUNSELLING SESSIONS
"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do."
- Brene Brown
Who I help
You can look like you have it together and still feel overwhelmed inside.
I work with adults in their 20s and 30s who are tired of second-guessing themselves, carrying everyone else’s feelings, or repeating patterns they do not fully understand.
Maybe you…
• Replay conversations and worry you said the wrong thing.
• Say “it’s fine” when it isn’t, then feel guilty for needing more.
• Feel drawn to people you have to work hard to feel close to.
• Keep achieving, but still feel behind or not good enough.
• Notice childhood or family experiences showing up in your relationships now.
• Have moved abroad or entered a new chapter, and feel lonely even when life looks exciting.
You do not need a crisis, a diagnosis, or a perfectly organised explanation to begin. We can start with what feels difficult and make sense of it together.
Meet Emma 👋
You don’t have to arrive as the best version of yourself. You just have to arrive as yourself.
Hi, I’m Emma, the therapist behind The Flawed Journey.
I want you to feel you can talk to me without having to tidy things up first. You can lose your train of thought, say “I don’t know”, cry, laugh, or tell me something you’ve never said out loud before. There’s no particular way you need to be here.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth and curious. I’ll listen, ask questions and sometimes gently challenge you, helping you explore the “why” behind your feelings and patterns, rather than leaving you to work it all out alone.
What might our work look like?
Some sessions might involve making sense of earlier experiences and relationships. Others might focus on something that happened this week, or finding a practical way through a difficult moment.
I draw on person-centred therapy, CBT and psychodynamic approaches, depending on what feels helpful for you and you can tell me when something doesn’t fit. Your voice matters in how we work together.
Wondering if we’d be a good fit?
You’ve read a little about me, but sometimes a conversation helps you get a better sense of someone.
I offer a free 30-minute call where you can share a little about what’s on your mind, ask questions and hear more about how we could work together.
You don’t need to prepare anything or decide about ongoing sessions. It’s a chance to see how talking with me feels.
How I can help you
Understand your patterns. Make room for your needs. Find a way forward that feels like you.
Together, we can explore why anxiety, self-doubt or familiar relationship dynamics keep showing up and practise different ways of responding. My integrative approach brings together reflection, gentle challenge and practical tools, shaped around you.
Individual counselling
A private space for the things you carry alone: overthinking, people pleasing, self-worth, childhood experiences or feeling lost in a life transition. Meet online via Zoom or phone, at a pace that feels right for you.

Write to Heal · monthly journaling
An hour to step out of your head and check in with yourself. Join me on Zoom for guided prompts, quiet writing and reflection. No journaling experience needed; cameras and sharing are optional.
Somewhere Between · expat support
Building a life abroad while missing the people and familiarity of home? A small Zoom group for expats in their 20s and 30s to connect with others who understand. Every four weeks, with no pressure to share. Peer support, not group therapy.

The meaning behind
The Flawed Journey
You don’t have to become a perfect version of yourself to deserve care and connection.
The Flawed Journey is about understanding how your experiences have shaped you, making room for the parts you’ve learned to hide, and finding ways forward that feel more like your own.
A space to be human, while you grow.
