Emma understands that sexual difficulties can impact upon your relationship, your self-esteem and mental wellbeing and therefore offers a holistic assessment and treatment approach.

Emma is a Registered Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and an Accredited Cognitive and Behavioural Therapist. She is also a highly experienced Mental Health Nurse and is registered with the NMC.

She hopes to support you in identifying and expressing your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings by providing a professional, warm, and respectful space.
