Emma Garrick Talking Therapy

I’m 19 and I have struggled with anxiety since I can remember. I always just thought it was something that couldn’t be fixed. I’ve spoken to multiple counsellors in the past but I was never given any helpful advice on how to actually tackle the anxiety. In 2019 it became a huge monster for me and I was having panic attacks regularly and in public, my worst ones lasting days. I was trying to manage and figure it out alone until the first lockdown when it all just became overwhelming and I knew I couldn’t keep struggling alone. My dad found Emma on bark and we had a consultation, even after the half an hour we spent talking I came away with new tools to manage and start to minimise my anxiety. For the first time felt like maybe it was something I could actually conquer. I have been seeing Emma for around 8 months now and I’ve honestly gotten so much better. It’s been a year since my worst panic attack and it’s amazing to think how much I have grown since then. I have done things I honestly thought I could never do again and it’s all because I started speaking to Emma, every single session is invaluable. I have learnt how to work with my anxiety and it is no longer a ruling factor in my day to day, I can’t even remember the last time I had a panic attack !!! I speak to Emma for half an hour a week now as opposed to the hour per week sessions I needed when I started. It’s great as even though I’m not super anxious now I’m able to work through worries, triggers or new issues before they become a giant problem. If you’re thinking about going with Emma I would say at least just try it because she has been amazingly helpful for me, she actively listens to you and gives you reasons why you feel the way you do and tools and plans on how to tackle things. Also she is just really lovely too :) More...

If you are struggling with anxiety, Emma is the person to help you. Quite simply, Emma excels at what she does. She is extremely insightful, intelligent, empathetic and gentle, and her considerable and lengthy experience means she is quickly able to tailor her approach to you and your needs. I was unsure about starting therapy, and finding the right therapist can seem daunting, but Emma immediately stood out as having a natural warmth and a generous, caring nature that made it very easy to talk to her about anything. Moreover, she has the depth and breadth of knowledge to get results. Unreservedly recommend. More...

Working with Emma has honestly changed my life. I have suffered my whole life with anxiety and OCD without realising what it was and Emma has been wonderful supporting me through this. I have tried other therapists before but I have never found someone as compassionate and personal as Emma. I love Emma's sense of humour and how she can help me see the more positive flip side of situations. She can really make me laugh which is all I need sometimes so that the world doesn't seem so terrible. I know can notice the unhelpful tendencies I have and we are working towards more positive ways to view things. I would recommend Emma to anyone as she is honestly one of the most caring people I have ever met. More...
