For Individuals

There are many reasons individuals come to see Emma Vasey.

Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy that supports a collaborative exploration into a client’s conscious and unconscious mind.

Every psychotherapist is specialised and employs different approaches to do this. Emma works predominantly through fostering a genuine trusting relationship that creates a safe space for difficult emotions and topics to be vulnerably felt in the therapy room at a client’s own pace. She also employs creativity, humour, and practical activities to engage multiple regions of the brain. Click to read more about Emma’s approach here.

These sessions are truly tailored for your needs. Everyone will experience a different therapeutic journey and there are multiple check-in points along the way to see how the style, pacing, and progress is going for you.

For many people this is the first time they are talking about their inner-world and experience. It can be an empowering journey of self-discovery, full of healing and enlightened expansion of possibilities.

This service is fully confidential within the bounds of ethical practice.

For Couples

There are many reasons couples come to a psychotherapist.

While some couples can navigate the difficulties, stressors, and strains on a relationship over time and seemingly come back together as a team, others get stuck feeling isolated within their relationship. There is the potential of resentment, frustration, and fear to build up from the break down of communication and subconscious relating to each other as an opponent rather than ally.

Please note that couples psychotherapy with Emma Vasey does not include relationships were violence is present.

Many couples function with different norms that emerge from two individuals of different backgrounds coming together. Some differences become apparent early on, while others may emerge later to cause friction. Thus, each couples difficulties must be understood through employing gentle curiosity about each person’s motivations, fears, and emotional cues and needs.

Emma Vasey employs Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT-C), an experiential approach that traces patterns or relating and encourages change in real-time.

Getting help navigating the journey towards reestablishing a sense of belonging and contentment in your relationship is a gift of love and an act of true belief in and of itself.
