BIOgraphy

Hi, I’m Emma. After more than 20 years as a speech and language therapist, I now work exclusively in private practice as a counsellor and hypnotherapist, bringing a wealth of experience from a lifetime in the helping professions.


What my clients have taught me is that Jung’s wise words ring true: the shoe that fits one person pinches another — there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
I was drawn to working with the Control System because of its ability to honour each person’s unique way of making meaning. It allows me to guide someone into developing their own authority, to show them what their mind is capable of when it comes to making real changes — rather than continuing to run on autopilot, mistaking old conditioning for who they actually are. This method gives us the opportunity to get back in control of our own mind.


I love how taking clients through the Control System process gives them the tools to communicate with their mind and move towards a preferred reality, free of the internal struggle so many people experience. My work is rooted in a deeply held philosophy: no one is broken. They have simply given their authority to others through the natural process of growing up — adapting and fitting into their environment as a dependent child.

I see my role as providing a safe space and guidance to bring forward the wisdom already within everyone — to update their map of reality and their understanding of what constitutes safety and happiness. When old responses no longer make sense, the problem dissolves. People are infinitely creative, and the Control System honours that by showing you how to access the subconscious part of your thinking — the part in charge of your most powerful tool: imagination.

What I love most about this work is witnessing my clients update their mind’s predictions of what will happen, and question the outdated beliefs that have been holding certain coping strategies and protective behaviours in place. When they realise those old habits are no longer required, something remarkable shifts.

If there is something you would like to change — whether it’s something you avoid, a fear response that no longer makes sense, a habit you’d like to let go of, or a belief about yourself that holds you back — I would love to be your copilot to liberation.

Testimonials
"Working with Emma feels like one of life’s small miracles.  She is a skilled professional but also so much more.  She has intuition, empathy and a rare ability to find the heart of an issue as well as the ability to fix it.  She has rid me of those deeply held but only half acknowledged illogical beliefs and thought patterns that cast a shadow over one’s self esteem and take the edge off the joy life has to offer.  The whole process has been a pleasure and a revelation and I’m so grateful that our paths crossed."
Caroline

"My work with Emma, through her counselling, hypnotherapy and awareness of the subconscious mind has changed my anxiety from, overwhelming and debilitating, to having the appropriate response to stressful situations.
Her understanding and caring approach gave me confidence to try her techniques, and I can honestly say it has made such a positive difference in my life."
Jo

"Having gone to see Emma about my addiction , it soon transpired that was just a cover for my other issues in my life! Once Emma got me to listen to my sub conscious, open up and let go of the things that wasn’t important, everything fell into place. I’m much happier with myself, which in turn, I now realise I can deal with things with a more positive outlook. Thank you Emma"
