I never thought I would find a professional who I would feel so safe and comfortable to just be with over the call, she has made me feel safe to open up and try to heal from certain life experiences, she is amazing and I would truly recommend Emma! I look forward to seeing her lovely face every week as I know I will feel lighter after our sessions! Thank you emma

Therapy with Emma has been a turning point for me. She holds space in a way that feels steady, respectful, and deeply human. Even though our sessions are only through chats, they are impactful, thoughtful, and genuinely supportive.
She asks the right questions, notices what matters, and doesn’t rush the process. I’ve grown more self-aware and more honest with myself because of our work together.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is both kind and real, Emma is someone I would recommend without hesitation.

Emma Louise Sharkey is incredibly supportive, understanding, and easy to talk to. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space and listens with genuine care. Her insights are thoughtful and practical, and she explains things in a way that feels clear and reassuring. I always feel heard and respected in our sessions, and I’ve gained valuable tools and perspective from working with her. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and effective support.

My therapist reads me very well through active listening and productive input. I realise that maybe sounds like jargon to some but it really makes such a difference to my life.

I really enjoy my sessions with Emma, I feel she listens and pushes me to think in way that are not normal for me which allow me to improve myself and my relationships with people and habits I have. She’s so funny too which makes it easier for me to talk to her as I find her ways of thinking similar to mine. I can only thank her so much for all she has helped me with so far.

Therapy with Emma is honestly a game changer for me. I’ve been looking for a therapist who fit my style of communication and growth for a long time. Emma has a great ability to talk to you like a friend making you feel safe and secure in the environment but also giving great techniques and reaffirming support. I always look forward to my sessions with Emma, she gives the best reassurance and really makes me feel heard and seen. She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had and I recommend her very strongly
