Hi, I’m Emily — a qualified integrative counsellor and the founder of Rise Within Counselling. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can be heard, held, and supported without judgment.
I know how heavy life can feel when you're carrying pain that no one else sees — when you're trying to keep everything together on the outside, while struggling inside. My hope is to offer you a space where you don’t have to do that anymore.
You don’t have to show up with the right words. You don’t have to be ‘ready’ in any particular way. You just have to show up as you are — and we can begin from there.
Why I DO THIS WORK
My own lived experiences have shaped the therapist I am today. I know what it’s like to feel unseen, unheard, or to carry emotions that feel too big to name. I also know how powerful it can be to have someone truly present with you — someone who doesn’t try to fix you, but simply helps you feel safe enough to explore what’s there.
That’s

That’s what I offer: presence, empathy, and space to feel without pressure.
