About Mather Therapy
Emma Mather, the founder of Emma Mather Therapy, has a deep-rooted passion for mental health and supporting individuals on their journey towards emotional well-being.
With a professional journey that began in 2006 when I qualified as a mental health nurse, my dedication to helping others has driven me to further expand my skills and knowledge. Over the course of more than two decades, I've gained valuable experience in various clinical settings within the NHS and Privately.
My passion for supporting individuals led me to pursue training in psychological therapy. I specialise in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). These techniques equip me with a comprehensive toolkit to address a wide range of mental health concerns.
My commitment to excellence is evident through my accreditation as a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I also hold memberships in EMDR UK and IPT UK, enhancing my expertise in trauma-focused therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy.
Beyond my therapeutic practice, I contribute to academia as a senior lecturer at Staffordshire University. This role allows me to share my knowledge and mentor future mental health professionals, aligning with my dedication to advancing the field of cognitive behavioural therapy.
In my work, I emphasise compassion and the creation of a safe therapeutic space. I understand that seeking therapy is a significant decision and strive to provide a supportive environment where individuals can feel comfortable and heard. Collaboration and open communication are at the core of my approach, and I'm always ready to address any questions about my experience, training, and therapeutic methods.
Flexibility is crucial to my practice, and I believe in tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual. While I aim for regularity of sessions, I'm mindful of the demands of my clients' lives and work to accommodate their schedules, ensuring therapy remains accessible and convenient.
At Emma Mather Therapy, my goal is to facilitate healing, growth, and positive change. With my expertise, compassion, and commitment to ethical practice, you can trust that you're in capable hands as you embark on your therapeutic journey.
