create Your Pathway
To A Better Future

ABOUT
Welcome. You are on your way to your first step.
I hope my service will help you understand my integral approach
and explain what you can expect in therapy.

I believe in talking therapy as it can make the

difference to one’s wellbeing. Emotional difficulties

don’t discriminate which anybody can suffer at one time or another,

but can be supported in many ways, and once done,

you can live the future the way you always wanted to.

Everyone has circumstances that are different
so, I consider everybody’s situation sincerely
and offer the best help as possible.

Counselling and psychotherapy provide you with with an environment that is secure, confidential, and free from judgement, in which you can talk about your relationships, behaviours, and most private thoughts and feelings with an experienced professional who is not going to pass judgement on you. It does not seek to offer you solutions; rather, it seeks to help you explore difficult feelings and recognise unhelpful recurring patterns in thinking and relating in order to assist you in making sense of things and better understanding yourself.

 

It takes courage to take that first step in acknowledging that you need help and to speak openly about your issues, because it can be challenging to reflect on difficult thoughts, emotions, and events - both in the past and in the present.

 

Talk therapy, on the other hand, can help alleviate emotional pain, improve relationships, and adjust harmful habits and behaviours.

The events of our past, particularly those that occurred when we were young, play a significant role in shaping not only how we act, but also how we relate to other people. From a young age, we begin to form coping mechanisms that teach us how to interact with the outside world and how to deal with troubling emotions and occurrences.

​

The psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approach attempts to recognise recurring patterns in behaviour and relationships, and it provides assistance in comprehending the sources from which these patterns stem. By bringing what is unconscious to the surface, we can give meaning to these repetitions and work towards creating new patterns of thinking, behaviour, and relating, that are more helpful.

The approach based on psychodynamics and psychoanalysis

There are many different motivations that bring people to therapy. Some of them may have already arrived at a turning point in their lives or be on the verge of reaching that point. Others may have been dealing with troubling emotions for an extended period, others may simply want a space for self-reflection to try to figure out what it is that makes them tick.

​

Every person brings a distinct account of their life, making the therapeutic process that they undergo with their therapist a one of a kind.

          Clients Testimonials

I’ve had an incredibly positive experience working with Emmanuel. He is consistently punctual, which sets a reassuring tone for each session. One of the qualities I value most is how he holds me accountable in a supportive and empowering way he challenges me when needed, but always with empathy and respect. Emmanuel is also remarkably relatable. There’s no sense of disconnect; instead, he meets me exactly where I am, making our conversations feel natural and grounded. He’s understanding, funny, and maintains a perfect balance between being approachable and professional. His optimism is contagious, helping me see possibilities even in difficult situations. I’ve especially appreciated how he remembers the small details about my life,those moments show genuine care and attention. Overall, Emmanuel has made a meaningful impact on my growth and well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who is thoughtful, engaging, and truly invested in their clients.
