Emma Buck:
Integrative Counsellor & Personal Consultant (BACP)
I’m Emma Buck, an integrative counsellor and personal consultant working with adults at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, London E8. I also teach counselling at the University of East London.
I can offer either short or long-term weekly counselling to suit your needs, or single-session counselling.
I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your goals and needs and to see if we would be a good fit to work together.
People seek counselling, coaching or other therapies for many different reasons – from a general feeling of being lost or stuck to dealing with a trauma or crisis, past or present.
You may be facing difficult decisions or feeling at one of life’s crossroads. Whatever brings you to counselling we will explore it together to help you to find meaning and a way forward.
I work in a person-centred, collaborative way, and I have experience working with a diverse range of clients on a variety of issues including depression and anxiety, relationships, trauma, bereavement, illness, identity and life transitions.
I believe human beings have an enormous capacity for change, personal growth and the development of deeper insight and awareness, given the right conditions. I aim to offer a safe, accepting, non-judgemental and confidential space from which together we may be able to help you find some clarity and direction.
I was trained in a therapeutic model called Personal Consultancy which enables the integration of techniques from a range of different counselling and coaching approaches to best suit the client. It allows for looking to the past for answers as well as identifying ways to move successfully onwards while addressing unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour.
Some clients may prefer a more forward-looking approach – more aligned with coaching; while others may need to look to their past to understand the origins of unhelpful patterns or ‘rules’ for living. Awareness is the start of change.
If this way of working sounds like something that might interest you, please contact me for a free initial consultation, with no commitment. This is an opportunity for me to hear a bit about why you are looking for counselling at this time, and for you to ask me any questions about my practice.
Research shows the quality of the relationship between counsellor and client is the most important factor in determining a good outcome from therapy, so it is important to find the right therapist for you.
If we decide to work together we will discuss your therapeutic goals and review them regularly to make sure you are getting the most out of your sessions.
