Welcome to
Maree Counselling
Change Begins Within
I'm Emma Maree, an integrative humanistic counsellor. I work in Billingshurst, and offer counselling in-person and online within the Horsham and West Sussex area.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental space for adults and young people to explore their feelings. With creative therapy and CBT informed options available, I'm here to support your journey.
Compassionate counselling in a gentle space for healing and growth
Life can be full of challenges, and it's perfectly natural to seek support when things get tough. As your counsellor, I'm here to offer you a comfortable, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
My approach is all about walking beside you on your journey of self-discovery. Together, we'll gently unpack what's troubling you, helping you gain fresh perspectives and perhaps discover new aspects of yourself along the way.
I believe that you're the expert on your own life. I'm here to support you as you find your own path forward, making choices that feel right for you.
I work with people from all walks of life, each with their unique stories and challenges. As a qualified humanistic counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I'm committed to providing ethical, compassionate care.
Whether you would like in-person sessions in Billingshurst West Sussex or online and telephone sessions from anywhere in England, I can help you find comfort.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, or just feeling a bit lost, I'm here to listen and support you. Let's take this journey together, at your pace, in a way that feels comfortable for you.
A Safe Space to Talk
In our counselling sessions, you'll find a warm, confidential environment where you can speak freely without fear of judgment. I'm here to listen with empathy and understanding, helping you unpack your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, relationship issues, or just feeling a bit lost, this is your space to explore and express yourself openly.
The Power of Sharing
Talking through your challenges can be incredibly healing. As we work together, you might find new perspectives on old problems, or discover strengths you didn't know you had. Counselling offers you tools to better understand yourself and your reactions, helping you navigate life's ups and downs with more confidence. Remember, seeking support isn't a sign of weakness - it's a brave step towards growth and self-care.
Embracing Creative Therapy
Sometimes, words alone aren't enough to express what we're feeling. That's where creative therapy comes in. I occasionally offer various creative tools - like sand trays, art materials, or visualisation techniques - as another way to explore your inner world. Don't worry, it's not about artistic skill! It's about the process of creating and what it can reveal. Many find this approach opens up new avenues for self-discovery and healing, often in surprising and profound ways.
Issues I Can Help With
Life throws many challenges our way, and sometimes we need a little extra support to navigate them.
In my practice, I've worked with a wide range of concerns. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, bereavement, trauma, CPTSD, low self-esteem, sexuality or relationship difficulties, I'm here to help. I also have experience supporting those coping with loss, and general life transitions.
Remember, no issue is too big or small - if it matters to you, it matters in our sessions. Together, we'll work through your unique situation, helping you find clarity and develop coping strategies that work for you.

Understanding Grief and how therapy can help: A Path to Healing
Grief is a natural and inevitable part of life. Whether we lose a loved one, face the end of a relationship, or experience significant life changes, the emotions that arise from such losses can be overwhelming. Everyone grieves differently, but no matter how we process our pain, beginning this healing process is essential. This is where therapy comes in—a vital form of support for those struggling with the intense emotions that come with loss.
I believe therapy is designed to help you cope with the pain and sorrow associated with your loss. It’s a confidential space where you can express your emotions and explore the various feelings that come with mourning. Therapy can focus on navigating the stages and complexities of grief, helping you to find a way to heal without feeling pressured to "move on.”
Therapy can also help process other aspects of our lives, leading to a more holistic experience of growth and acceptance. Read more...
