About

Hi, I’m Emma Oaksford, a Senior Therapist with over 16 years’ experience supporting adults, couples, and parents through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. I am an NCT and Relate qualified counsellor and a certified IARTT Rewind Trauma Therapist, offering specialised support for those affected by trauma and PTSD.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing and connection grow best in a space where you feel truly heard, understood, and respected. I support couples who want to strengthen their relationship, parents navigating the challenges of family life, and individuals working through trauma.

I combine warmth and empathy with evidence-based frameworks, offering clients both the emotional safety and the practical tools they need to move forward.

Therapy with me is available online nationwide or in person at our Weymouth practice

Online Therapy with Emma

While many clients begin therapy thinking in-person will feel most effective, many soon discover that online therapy can be equally powerful and often more practical.

Choosing online sessions allows you to:
✔ Access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home
✔ Fit sessions around your family, work, or daily commitments
✔ Work with me wherever you live — no travel required
✔ Maintain consistency and flexibility, even during busy times

For many, online therapy quickly becomes the preferred option, offering the same depth of connection and professional support — with greater accessibility.

How I Work

Whether we’re exploring difficult conversations, repairing trust, or gently processing past experiences, I work collaboratively with you to create a path towards deeper understanding, resilience, and lasting change.

My approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred, systemic, and psychodynamic theories to ensure therapy is always tailored to your unique needs. Alongside talking therapy, I use the Rewind Technique to reduce the impact of trauma and empower clients to reclaim their lives.
