Humanistic Counselling in Billingshurst and Online

About Me

Hi there, I'm Emma Maree.

I'm so glad you've found your way here.

I'm a humanistic counsellor based in Billingshurst, West Sussex. My journey into counselling started with a spark – a realisation that I loved supporting people of all ages, through life's ups and downs.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent years working in schools. I've been a mentor, a pastoral care provider, and a friendly ear for students from junior school all the way through sixth form. This experience showed me the power of really listening to someone and helping them find their own path.

I believe that each person is unique, with their own story to tell. That's why I offer a warm, judgment-free space where you can be yourself and explore what's on your mind. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, feeling low, or just need someone to talk to, I'm here to walk alongside you.

My approach is person-centred, which means that you're in the driver's seat. I won't tell you what to do or how to feel. Instead, I'll support you as you uncover your own insights and strengths.

I love bringing creativity into my sessions too. If you're open to it, we might use things like sand trays, art materials, or even puppets to help express feelings that are hard to put into words. Don't worry – it's not about being "good" at art. It's just another way to explore your thoughts and feelings.

When I'm not counselling, you might find me curled up with a good book, taking a walk in nature, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen. These simple pleasures help me stay grounded and remind me of the joy in everyday life.

I have a BA (Hons) degree in Humanistic Counselling and I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means I follow a strict code of ethics to ensure I'm always working in your best interests.

If you think we might be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you. Let's take that first step together.
