WELCOME TO   FORWARDS THERAPY

Emma Beddow – Lead Counsellor 

​

​Qualified Therapeutic Counsellor and Somatically Informed Therapist​​

Specialising in Neurodivergence, Addiction and Trauma 

​

Are you looking for a counsellor and therapist who can work with neurodivergence, addiction or trauma in a helpful and informed way? Have you struggled to find the right therapist who gets it and can facilitate your healing after years of not getting anywhere? Are you feeling stuck in finding the right support from someone who can validate your experience and not give you just tips and breathing exercises? If you are, then you've come to the right place. I offer a wealth of lived experience and a human approach to my counselling practice. 

​

​What I offer 

​

• Adult counselling - specialising in Neurodivergence, Addiction and Trauma

 

• Teen counselling - specialising in Neurodivergence, Addiction and Trauma 

 

• Single session therapy - one session to help you address your goals and move forwards

 

• Somatically informed sessions - working with the body and nervous system 

​

​

Areas I work with 

Are you struggling with:
✔ Anxiety & Overthinking – feeling on edge, stuck in worry cycles, or overwhelmed
✔ Low Self-Esteem & Confidence – struggling with self-doubt or self-criticism
✔ Addiction & Unhealthy Coping Strategies – wanting to break free from harmful patterns
✔ Neurodivergence (Autism & ADHD) – supporting self-understanding & emotional wellbeing
✔ Relationship Challenges – difficulties with boundaries, communication, or past trauma

​

​My Approach

As a person-centred counsellor and somatic therapist, I believe you are the expert in your own life and you hold the key to your healing and developing a greater understanding of your experiences. My role is to support and guide you in a way that feels right for you. Our sessions will be led by what you need, whether that’s understanding your emotions, developing coping tools, or processing past experiences. If helpful, I also draw on somatic techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to support you in managing anxiety and breaking unhelpful thought patterns.  Counselling is not a one size fits all method and therefore I will adapt sessions to fit you and this collaborative process means that you are at the centre of your sessions and your own wisdom and insight is not only explored but celebrated. 

​

​What to Expect

✔ A supportive and accepting space to explore your thoughts and feelings
✔ A deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions
✔ Practical strategies to manage anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelm
✔ Empowerment to make positive changes at your own pace
