Configurations Psychotherapy

Configurations Psychotherapy is expanding!!

Expression of Interest

In around March 2025 Configurations psychotherapy is making the exciting move and expanding to new premises. The aim is to provide a center to work from for established, self employed counsellors & psychotherapists, along with the potential for some additional therapies such as, but not limited to, massage, osteopathy, chiropractors etc. My hope is to offer a holistic hub for all clients and practitioners where a wealth of knowledge and expertise can be shared and above all an inclusive and safe environment can be created and offered. If you would like to make an expression of interest to work from the new premises please complete and submit the form with your details & message and I will arrange a convenient time to make contact. Much warmth, Emily

Counselling and psychotherapy practitioner in Nottingham

Welcome to Configurations Psychotherapy. My name is Emily (she/they), I provide counselling / psychotherapy sessions and Clinical Supervision that are underpinned by a humanistic/integrative philosophy and have 24 years of experience of Psychotherapy.

I am a fully accredited member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and a graduate member of the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute, Nottingham. I therefore adhere to each body’s respective codes of ethics and my work is appropriately supervised in line with these codes.

My approach is trauma-informed, disability affirmative, neurodiversity affirmative and LGBTQIA+ affirmative. I have a passion for supporting individuals who are discovering themselves, I value your experience and your truth, I speak out against discrimination and oppression of any kind, and work to promote difference, diversity, and inclusivity.

Starting your therapy journey with me.

Thank you for visiting my website and exploring whether counselling / psychotherapy is a step you might take. Hopefully I will be able to give you a sense of who I am, how I work, and some clarity as to whether this is right for you. You may have previously had counselling or psychotherapy, be returning following a break from sessions, wanting to see how a different approach to psychotherapy fits for you, or you may have never experienced counselling or psychotherapy before but have an awareness that some difficulties need addressing and speaking about and know that you need support in doing this.

There is no set of criteria for being in therapy, you do not need a clear set of goals, being curious about who/how you are, in relation to yourself, other people in your life and how you experience being in the world is the best starting point. Starting new things, in this case therapy, can create apprehension, or a fear of exploring issues that may have, until now been avoided or buried. It can also bring a sense of excitement and unburdening, of change and growth.

Whatever your feelings at this point, we can explore them together, along with what they may mean for you and what you need and hope to get from your therapy.

In order to gain a sense of me and to ask any initial questions, I offer a no obligation 10-15 initial phone call. If we then arrange an initial session, the fee is £65 as are all subsequent sessions.
