Íø±¬ÃÅ

I am available for counselling on a Thursday & Friday between 10am & 10pm.  I am also available on a Sunday between 10am & 6pm.

My name is Emma Nightingale. I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ-registered Person-Centred counsellor with extensive experience in supportive roles within education, mental health provisions, and victim support services. Although my vocational experience informs my work, I believe that my strength as a counsellor lies in my ability to meaningfully connect with my clients. I genuinely care about every client I see.

My approach is grounded in the belief that each person inherently possesses the ability to grow and heal themselves and that they are the best experts on their own lives. However, I also acknowledge that there are moments when being our own expert can feel overwhelming. My clients and I work in collaboration. I offer empathy, acceptance, and a non-judgmental space. I won't dictate the topics you talk to me about, but I may gently encourage you to delve into the core of your issues.  

Nightingale Counselling provides a safe and welcoming space where clients are free to be themselves and feel accepted.

I offer face-to-face counselling sessions in a private garden room in Desborough, NN14.

The garden room is located in my family garden but is entirely separate from my family home, accessible through an external side gate and an independent entry system. 

The counselling room is a private, confidential space with blinds for privacy, and toilet facilities are available for the exclusive use of clients.

Upon scheduling an appointment, I will provide you with my full address. Free, unrestricted parking is available on the public road outside. The space is heated and air-cooled for your comfort.

I also offer online sessions via Zoom, a video conferencing platform that allows users to connect remotely through audio, video, and chat. Zoom works across various devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets, enabling me to communicate with you if you prefer to meet remotely.

Initially, I would arrange a free, no-obligation one-hour assessment appointment to get acquainted. You can determine if I am someone you feel comfortable working with, while I can learn more about what you hope to gain from counselling. I will ask several questions about your past and present circumstances to ensure that the support I provide is suitable for you. If we decide to work together, we will schedule your first counselling session, where you will lead the discussion on any topics of your choice. We will commit to a set number of sessions and then review our progress together, focusing on the issues most significant to you.
