Emma Fialho | Counsellor - Psychotherapist

Counselling Chichester

--- currently unavailable ---  

I am a fully trained BA (hons) counsellor / psychotherapist and I have a huge passion for my client work. I like to offer you a non-judgemental, confidential, relaxed space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. 

Contacting a professional about counselling can be a worrying experience. Firstly admitting to yourself that something does not feel okay at the present time, and wondering what it is all going to be about. I am a friendly approachable person who understands how worrying a first email or phone call can be. 

Tailor made counselling

The counselling I offer is based on a humanistic and person centred modality. The focus is on you and your needs, and it is non directive. You will not need to speak about anything you do not wish to share with me. 

We will work with what you wish to share and I will help you through your process. I believe that as you are a unique individual with your own experiences, I aim to employ the integration of different models of therapy and make sure the counselling is tailor made to suit your needs. 

My personality traits are that of being adaptable, friendly, trustworthy, warm and kind. I aim to bring out the best in people and hope to do this with every client I meet.

About me

I am originally from London and have also lived abroad before settling in Chichester. During the time I spent abroad, I was able to understand the diversity and uniqueness of different cultures, religions and backgrounds. I came to back to the UK where I fulfilled my dream to pursue a career in counselling, it was something I always wanted to do.

I have a BA with honours in Humanistic counselling and Psychotherapy and I have experience in cognitive behavioural therapy and neuro linguistic programming. I have extensive experience in both private practice and working within the NHS. I have also worked for and supported charity run organisations for the elderly and disabled. 

Counselling is my passion and I like to continue to learn and develop my skills constantly, so I partake in workshops, and other learning programs. I have recently trained in Couples counselling and I am currently training in Art therapy and the work with children. I am also starting a course in EMDR (eye movement desensitising and reprogramming).
