Evolve Well Counselling
Windsor - Farnham Common - Online
A safe space for you to explore whatever may be troubling you, or holding you back.
Welcome, my name is Emma. I work with adults face to face in Windsor, Farnham Common and the surrounding areas. I also provide counselling online or by telephone nationwide.
Services
Sometimes life brings experiences that are hard to make sense of or come to terms with.
Maybe you are carrying pain from difficult relationships or experiences in childhood. Or perhaps you’re finding it hard to cope after a major change such as becoming a parent, separation or divorce, loss, illness, menopause, retirement or another life transition that’s left you feeling unsettled.
You might notice yourself feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed. Maybe you’re feeling angry or more irritable than usual. Perhaps
don’t feel like yourself anymore or are struggling to relate to those around you? However it shows up for you, it can be confusing and isolating — especially if you feel you should be coping.
You don’t have to face your situation alone. I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, make sense of what has happened, and reconnect with yourself. Clients I work with often describe gaining a deeper understanding of how their experiences and
relationships have shaped them, and finding new ways forward that feel authentic and true to them - honouring their past while creating space for the future.
I also offer counselling for adult adoptees. You can find out more about that here.
How I Work
There are many different types of counselling therapy available and it’s not a one size fits all approach. Even when people want to address similar issues or have experienced similar challenges, what will work for one person won’t necessarily work for another. The most important thing is finding a counselling therapist you feel safe and comfortable with. As a qualified Integrative Counsellor, I can work with a blend of different approaches and techniques, to meet your individual needs. We'll regularly review our work together to ensure you feel comfortable with how we are working together and you are getting what you need.
My Approach
I work with people bringing a wide variety of challenges. Every person’s goals and motivations for coming to counselling will be different and how we work together will be unique to you. However, the one thing I work to support all my clients with is creating a safe and secure human connection in the counselling room. We go at a pace set by you, building a solid foundation of trust from which you can feel safe to start exploring difficult feelings and any challenges that may be holding you back in life. I see counselling as a collaborative process, it's not something that is ‘done to you’, rather a nurturing environment where I can support you with whatever you choose to bring in to your counselling sessions.
Who I Work With
I focus on working with adults aged 18 plus, and can offer anything from just a few sessions once a week to open-ended support, working together as along as needed. We’ll work together to decide what will be best suited for you and your circumstances and will review our work together as we go.
I offer adult counselling face to face, online or over the telephone. Face to face sessions are at offices in Farnham Common currently, which are easily accessible from Windsor, Eton, Slough, Maidenhead, Wooburn Green, Cookham, Burnham and Beaconsfield,

About Me
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working in the corporate world in sales and events. After a significant life event, I realised I wanted something more meaningful — work that allowed for real connection and personal growth. That led me to the charity sector, and eventually to counselling, which felt like a natural home.
Having sought therapy myself at different points in my life, including during my own journey as an adoptee, I know how transformative it can be to feel truly heard and understood. Those experiences inspired me to offer others the same kind of safe, supportive space that helped me heal and grow.
My clients describe me as calm, compassionate, and down to earth. I bring curiosity, warmth, and gentle challenge when it’s needed. I believe that change happens through connection — by exploring your story together, at your pace, we can make sense of what’s been holding you back and find new ways forward that feel more authentic and aligned with who you really are.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework for counselling professionals (See www.bacp.co.uk)
