EMMA NEVILLE

PGCEP, MA, MPhil, PGDIP, MBACP, UKCP (ACC)

I am a UKCP accredited and BACP Registered Psychotherapist working with adult individuals in Cambridge (CB1) and online.

I work with adult individuals who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves, their experiences, and their context.

If you have questions about starting psychotherapy with me, you are welcome to email me at: emmanevillepsychotherapy@outlook.com

It matters that you find a therapist who feels right for you. With this in mind, I offer a free 20 minute zoom call to discuss if we might be a good fit.

Is therapy right for me?

Life can be difficult and confusing. Many people find it helpful to talk with another person about the difficult feelings, experiences, and situations that life throws at us.

I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to reflect on your life and experiences, with the aim of helping you to make sense of your situation.

My approach

I view therapy first and foremost as a safe harbour.

From this harbour, we can start to face and unravel the questions that bring you to therapy. I will join you in exploring what is happening with you and in your life that has left you feeling anxious, low, numb, distressed or struggling.

In my experience, this exploration often takes us to the core dilemmas of being human. These dilemmas may have to do with how you find yourself in the world, how your past informs your present, how you relate to others, and what matters to you.

I aim to facilitate the kind of dialogue where we enter into these dilemmas together, and to facilitate the kind of atmosphere that allows you to hear your own experience in answering them.

 FAQs

  • Psychotherapy and counselling are talking therapies, which means the therapist and client work through speaking to one another.

    Some practitioners differentiate between psychotherapy and counselling based on how long-term the work is and the extent to which it is focussed on specific issues. I use the broader term “therapy” to describe all of these approaches.

    I’m happy to work with you on either a short- or long-term basis, depending on your wishes and needs. It is for you to decide which areas of your life you want to explore in therapy, and this can naturally shift as our work together unfolds.

    The fundamentals of the process involve us both making a commitment: to meet for 50 minutes each week, to sit together and talk.

    Throughout the process, I aim to curate an environment that feels warm, safe, and honest. My belief is that, in this kind of environment, we are better able to attend to the messier parts of our experience, better able to stay with the difficult questions, and better able to learn from experiences.

  • This is a wise question to ask, as it is important to feel comfortable with your therapist. You may wish to speak with more than one therapist before making a commitment.

    We can start with a free 20 minute call.  This is a chance for us to find out a little about each other and see if we both feel comfortable working together.

    During this call, you can get a sense of my approach and style, ask any questions about the process, and we can also clarify fees and potential session arrangements. 

    If it feels right, we can then arrange a 50-minute initial session and begin our work together.

  • Depending on your preferences and availability, we can meet online or in-person.

    If you’d like to meet in person, this would be in Central Cambridge - just off Mill Road and about 15 minutes walk from Cambridge Central Station.

  • I offer a free 20 minute call to see if we might be a good fit. Thereafter, we will meet for 50 minutes a week. Each session is charged at £75.

  • Our first session is a bit different from other sessions. It is a shorter meeting, and primarily an opportunity for us to get to know each other and see if we feel comfortable working together.

    I’ll ask some questions about your background and what’s brought you to therapy. We’ll touch on your hopes and expectations for therapy.

    During this call, you can get a sense of my approach and style, ask any questions about the process, and we can also clarify fees and potential session arrangements.
