Emma Stannard , NCPS

Emma Stannard is a qualified Pluralistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, hypnotherapist and mindfulness coach based in Devon, United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and brings three years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and major life changes. Emma works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, panic attacks, trauma, and challenges around life purpose and midlife transitions.

Emma adopts a warm, relaxed and collaborative style, recognising that each person brings a unique story and set of needs. She draws on a pluralistic mix of approaches - including person-centred work that honours individual experience, cognitive behavioural techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, psychodynamic exploration of how past experiences affect the present, narrative methods to reframe personal stories, hypnotherapy for relaxation and accessing inner resources, and mindfulness to stay present and reduce anxiety. This flexible integration allows her to tailor sessions to the client rather than fitting the client to a single model.

Her aim is to create a compassionate space where people can explore obstacles, build practical coping strategies and strengthen inner resilience. With an emphasis on collaboration and respect for the client’s autonomy, Emma supports people in finding greater balance, clarity and forward momentum on their personal journey.
