Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I’m Emma, and I work with people who are ready to explore themselves more deeply — to uncover what’s holding them back, heal old patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I offer integrative, person-centred therapy that honours the connection between mind, body and soul. Drawing from different approaches including hypnotherapy, ACT, breathwork, somatic practices, mindfulness, NLP and EFT, I tailor each session to your individual needs. I also specialise in psychedelic integration and transpersonal exploration.
I work with anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, burnout, grief and life transitions, supporting sensitive and self-aware individuals who feel stuck or disconnected and are seeking deeper change.
Sessions are collaborative, trauma-aware and paced around you. I offer therapy online and in person in Fareham, Hampshire, with a free 20-minute discovery call to explore whether we’re a good fit.

Lavinia May
Counsellor/Therapist, MNCPS (Acc.)
Hi, I'm Lavinia.
If you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel disconnected, or find yourselves walking on eggshells - you're not alone, and things can change.
I specialise in couples therapy, and also work with individuals. My approach is warm, honest and practical: we'll make sense of what's going on between you, and build small, realistic steps that help your relationship feel easier, closer and more like you again.
I use proven tools and techniques - without the jargon. Sessions feel like real conversations with direction: we set goals together, track what's working, and adapt as we go.
I work with couples and individuals navigating: recurring arguments & communication breakdowns · trust & repair after conflict · intimacy & emotional disconnection · anxiety creeping into the relationship · family & in-law boundaries · life transitions & burnout · reconnecting after a rough patch
Practicalities: 50-minute sessions • Online or in person in my Sandbach office • Individual & Couples. 🎁 20% Off All Therapy Sessions: Summer is here - and so is 20% off all therapy sessions. Let's make it count!
Next step: Introductory Session
50 minutes | Individuals & Couples
The first step is an initial session together - a relaxed conversation to get to know each other, hear a little about what's been going on, and explore how I may be able to support you. There's no pressure or commitment at this stage. Prefer to skip the Introductory Session? You're welcome to book your first therapy session directly.

Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city centre. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programmes supply clinical training to the local community.
