Emma Evans
@emmaevans
Compassionate therapist dedicated to improving mental health and well-being.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated therapist currently working with BetterHelp, where I provide one-on-one counseling using an integrative approach. My experience spans a variety of client issues, including grief, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. I manage my own schedule, ensuring that each client receives the attention and support they need.
Previously, I worked with Harbour Support Services, where I supported clients dealing with domestic abuse, offering them a safe and confidential space to explore their challenges. My role involved managing appointments and providing emotional support to a caseload of clients, which has honed my organizational and empathetic skills.
My educational background includes a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Therapeutic Communication, where I achieved First Class Honors. I have also volunteered as a Harm Reduction Worker, providing essential support to vulnerable populations. I am passionate about making a positive impact on mental health and am committed to continuous learning and development in my field.
