Emma Brotherton, BACP

Emma Brotherton is a BACP registered psychotherapist and supervisor who brings over five years of professional practice to her therapeutic work. She combines clinical experience and academic insight with a calm, compassionate presence to help people navigate life transitions and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Emma works with a wide range of difficulties, including the effects of trauma, loss, relationship changes, emotional overwhelm, parenting challenges, career setbacks, recent diagnoses, or that general sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. Her approach is rooted in a person-centred foundation while remaining pluralistic in practice - she draws on different therapeutic methods according to what best fits each individual. Psychoeducation is a key element of her work, helping people understand patterns of response and practical strategies for change.

With a particular interest in the neuroscience of stress and how the body holds experience, Emma integrates exploration of the nervous system and somatic responses alongside emotional and cognitive work. She aims to create a space where people feel genuinely heard and understood, offering accompaniment rather than directives as they explore what is happening for them and what might help them move forward.
