Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapists in Newtown, Wales Wales, United Kingdom GB

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reconnecting with what has always been whole within you. My therapeutic approach is rooted in this belief: that you already carry everything you need to heal, grow, and find freedom. My role is not to heal you, but to walk alongside you with presence, compassion, and deep respect for your unique path. My name is Emma, and I offer integrative, transpersonal therapy—a holistic approach that honours the full spectrum of your being: mind, body, heart, and soul. I work intuitively, weaving together a range of evidence-based and experiential modalities to create a supportive, person-centred space where transformation can unfold organically. This includes hypnotherapy, breathwork, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), somatic and mindfulness practices, Past Life Regression, and psychedelic integration. Our work together is always guided by what you need in the moment. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, heartbreak, chronic stress, trauma, or simply feeling lost or disconnected, we begin exactly where you are—with gentleness and curiosity. I take the time to truly listen to you, to understand not just your symptoms but the deeper stories, patterns, and beliefs that shape your experience. Together, we bring awareness to those unconscious layers so that they can begin to soften, shift, and release. A big part of my approach is helping you learn to trust yourself again. So many of us carry internalised messages that we are not good enough, that we are too much or not enough, that we must hustle or people-please to be worthy of love. These beliefs often form early in life and become the quiet background noise shaping how we show up in the world. Through our sessions, we work to gently interrupt those patterns—not by force, but by cultivating awareness, self-compassion, and new ways of relating to yourself and others. I deeply believe in the power of relaxation as a gateway to healing. Often, the mind alone can’t think its way out of pain. That's where practices like breathwork, hypnotherapy and meditation come in. These tools act as portals to unconscious, where your own inner wisdom and innate healing intelligence reside—and where unprocessed emotions, trauma, and old narratives often live. By reconnecting with your unconscious mind, by softening the body an calming the nervous system in a safe and supportive way, you begin to feel more grounded, embodied, and present. You start to experience yourself not just as a mind with problems, but as a whole being with deep inner wisdom. My work is also spiritually-informed, without being dogmatic. For those who are open to it, I welcome exploration of the deeper existential questions—Who am I? Why am I here? What is my soul calling me toward? I offer practices like meditation, visualization, and transpersonal inquiry to help you access a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. I also specialise in psychedelic integration and facilitate safe, legal psychedelic retreats in the Netherlands. These experiences can catalyse profound healing, but the real transformation often happens in the integration—the slow unfolding, reflection, and embodiment of insights. I support you through that process with care and integrity. At its core, my approach is relational and collaborative. You are the expert on your life. I bring my knowledge, intuition, and presence, but you set the pace. Together, we co-create a space where you can safely explore your inner world, express your truth, and take empowered steps toward the life you want to live. I offer sessions both online and in-person in Fareham, Hampshire, and I also host group circles and retreats for deeper immersion and connection. My practice is trauma-aware, inclusive, and grounded in the belief that all parts of you are welcome here. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be “ready” in any specific way. You just need to bring your willingness to begin—however small that beginning may feel. If you’re feeling called to explore this work, I offer a free 20-minute discovery call to see if we’re a good fit. Freedom isn’t something we find outside of ourselves. It’s something we remember, reclaim, and embody from within.
