About Earth Counselling

 Emma Smith has over 15 years' experience as a counsellor, having worked with charities and the NHS, including roles at South Essex Partnership NHS Trust and Oxleas NHS Trust in the south of England. In 2021, she joined community practice that was offering low-cost virtual counselling to people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic; together, the team provided more than 10,000 hours of support to people struggling to access affordable therapy. Inspired by the significant positive impact that of that work, Emma founded her own practice, Earth Counselling, in 2025. She works across a number of modalities, including humanistic, psychodynamic, and solution-focused approaches, and is also trained and certified in providing EMDR for trauma. She takes a collaborative approach built on equal partnership between counsellor and client — supportive and empathetic, but goal-oriented. Before starting therapy, Emma offers a free 30-minute introduction call to check that Earth Counselling is the right fit. 

To ensure that Counselling support is accessible to all who need it, Earth Counselling offers a sliding scale fee structure, and we also can arrange low-cost counselling provision led by the Associate Counsellors and Trainee Counsellors on roster.
