Emma Peters, NCPS

Emma Peters is a UK-based counsellor with 11 years of clinical experience who creates a warm, non-judgmental space for people to explore what is happening in their lives. She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting difficulties, career challenges, and issues related to LGBTQI+ identity and neurodiversity. Her practice also includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse, and she has experience with family and blended family issues, fertility and caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, and difficulties such as guilt, shame, and emptiness.

Emma’s approach is kind, compassionate, and interactive, combining evidence-based techniques with an attentive, person-centered stance. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), client-centered principles, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor work to each person’s needs and pace. This flexible blend supports both short-term goals and deeper exploration of recurring patterns from the past. Emma helps clients build motivation, strengthen identity, and develop greater confidence and healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Known for a down-to-earth style and a sense of humour where appropriate, she treats people with sensitivity and respect and avoids stigmatizing labels or one-size-fits-all solutions. Emma holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, which reflects her training and commitment to the field.
