Online Counselling & Wellbeing Support from South East Lincolnshire
A safe space to find balance and peace from within
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Emma Newbury Counselling & Wellbeing Support.
My name is Emma Newbury, and I am a counsellor providing both short- and long-term counselling to adults (over 18’s) either online or by telephone from South East Lincolnshire
Online Counselling & Wellbeing Support from South East Lincolnshire
I provide my clients with a safe, non-judgemental space in which they can be completely open and free to speak. I see my role as facilitator in helping clients to make sense of their concerns. Counselling can fundamentally change the way we think about things.
Sharing your problems with someone who isn’t otherwise involved in your life can feel liberating. This is particularly true when things have built up and now seem too big to deal with alone. It is also the case when you have been unable to communicate them with anyone else, whether through feeling embarrassed or ashamed, or simply not having a person who will just listen and understand.
This is where I come in. Employing empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard, I will accept you as you are with no judgement and help you explore your concerns. Ultimately, the hopeful outcome of your counselling will be that you are able to move forward in life with peace of mind and a greater sense of who you are.
About Me
I decided to train to become a counsellor after a series of personal events led me to seek counselling to address the emotional fallout. Then, when I was faced with a highly stressful set of circumstances relating to a previous job I was forced to look at my future... did I want to stay in that environment for the rest of my working life, or did I want to re-train and do something different, more worthwhile? It was a no-brainer!
I decided to become a counsellor, and my life has changed beyond all recognition. The privilege of being able to help people work through their issues and improve their lives is something I will never take for granted. Watching my clients change throughout their course of counselling is more rewarding than I could have ever imagined.
Outside of counselling, I had a career of more than 20 years in the civil service. I presently work providing support for adults with learning disabilities. I also volunteer at my local wellbeing hub, continuing to counsel those who are referred through the mental health and wellbeing network in my locality. I am based in South East Lincolnshire, a beautiful part of the world, where I live with my little family.

My Counselling Approach
As a counsellor, my primary role is to give you, the client, a safe, non-judgmental, confidential environment in which to talk about whatever you want, at a pace with which you are comfortable.
I have a person-centred approach, which means I see every person as unique. I adapt my skills to provide what you need from me.
You are in charge of your life, and I fully respect your autonomy. You likely already have the inner resources to find peace and direction.
Though I don’t take a directive approach by default, I understand that some people benefit from more guidance—and I adjust to suit your preferences.
Your counselling is about you, your world, and your frame of reference.
Why Counselling?

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I get in touch with you?
I will arrange a free initial consultation with you which will last up to 30 minutes. This is for us to have a chat about what has led you to making the enquiry, what you need and whether we feel we can work together.
If you decide that you would like to proceed with counselling, I will send you an agreement (contract), and once you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions of it, we will arrange a day and time for our first session.
During the first session I will ask about your current situation and for personal information. We will continue from there.
What does the contract say?
The contract is an essential part of the process, as it sets out the terms of our relationship, including what you can expect from me and what I expect from you and my professional obligations. The professional boundaries that are set out in the agreement are imperative to keep us both safe.
Will you keep what I say confidential?
Yes. The beauty of counselling is that you can tell me anything! I am bound by the code of ethics set out by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, in which confidentiality is considered paramount.
You need to know that there are a few circumstances in which I may need to breach confidentiality:
- Inferring involvement in certain criminal activities, such as money laundering or acts of terrorism.
- If a child is at risk.
- If you tell me something that leads me to believe that you or someone else are at significant risk of harm.
What will counselling do for me?
As previously mentioned, you can tell me anything. I will not judge. You can tell me as much or as little as you wish, and I understand that there are certain things that will be painful to talk about.
The more you disclose, the more you are likely to get from counselling. I cannot fix your problems, but I can listen and help you explore them, work through your thoughts and feelings, and understand why you feel the way you do. Honesty is really important, including how you feel about our relationship, and how you feel therapy is progressing. This is why I conduct reviews every few weeks to check we are on track!
Get in Touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how I work, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to therapy, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on +44 7392 027 452 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.

“I have had three previous goes at counselling and therapy and always bounced off it.”
“Despite having some complex issues Emma has been such a supportive, tentative and caring addition to my life. Her support has enabled me to survive one of the hardest periods I have experienced as well as process past trauma. I couldn’t ask for a better counsellor.”
