Emma Pott Signature

A MESSAGE FROM

EMMA POTT

Our philosophy for therapy is away from the old school formal setting and focus on ‘what is wrong with you’ to a trauma focused ‘what has happened to you’. Emma & Agata are trauma trained psychological therapists with extensive experience working in NHS complex needs services. Like all registered therapists we are trained to work across the lifespan with a range of difficulties but specailise in childhood trauma and the impact, sometimes this might attract a diagnosis of Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, (EUPD) Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD).  We blend a range of approaches tailored to the individual whether that is for short term work or something longer term. We can adapt depending on your preference and blend a dynamic, engaging approach to help you learn new ways of coping with practical skills where needed but also a deep understanding of yourself, experiences and ways of relating to your self and others to enable you to live a more satisfying life.

‘I was really nervous about seeing a therapist as I didn’t actually know what was ‘wrong’ but Emma really understood me and I felt at ease during the assessment. She’s not just a ‘how does that make you feel’ therapist which I find patronising, she’s practical and genuine.’
