Emma Charlick
Agency founder and lead

I'm an integrative counsellor with my own private practice seeing clients 2-3 days per week and managing River Counselling Services around this. Prior to counselling I worked in senior level administration and office management, so River Counselling Services is a true blend of my past career and current vocation. Throughout my training I found forming relationships with counsellors and professionals I met along the way to be a strong point, and it brings me real joy to offer a central hub for counsellors and practitioners to work, train and ultimately grow together. I am passionate about supporting trainees through their development and am so proud to be able to offer placement opportunities that support the local community and those in need.

 

With my foundational training in person-centred counselling, I take a holistic whole person approach to my practice, and life in general. I work exclusively with adults and have a particular interest in trauma and providing a safe space for clients to reconnect with parts of self, integrating academic and theoretical approaches as well as transpersonal practice, underpinned by deep listening, curiosity and presence.​
