I have finally updated my website to include...

*Pregnancy to Parenthood Transitions* A workshop for people who are expecting a new baby and who would like to work on the relational side of their experience (and maybe meet some other lovely expecting parents along the way).

Pregnancy often brings up many thoughts and feelings can can feel very exciting, but can also feel very worrying for some. This group course allows you to explore some of those thoughts and feelings and gain new understanding, awareness and tools to help you support each other in the next chapter of your lives!

Groups are on a Saturday morning, 10am - 12.00 in either Weymouth or Dorchester or on a midweek evening online from 7pm - 9pm.

Please message me for more information and share with those who may be interested.

It's been quite a while since I've added a post here. I've been having a rather lovely social media break. However, I thought a nice post on the positives of metaphor seemed relevant to my practice at the moment.

Why Metaphor Matters in Therapy

When a client says, “It’s like I’m carrying a backpack full of bricks,” they’re not just describing stress, they’re showing us how it feels to be them.

In counselling, working with metaphor helps clients:

Gain clarity

Express the unspeakable

Feel seen, without needing perfect words

Metaphors bypass logic and speak the language of the emotional brain. They honour complexity and create space for curiosity, play, and healing.

Have you ever used metaphor in your own self-reflection or practice? What did it reveal?

⭐️Good News Info!! ⭐️

Gosh it's been a long time since I've been active on Facebook. I've been working lots and hanging out with the family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I have a few bits of good news to share! (although my inactivity probably means this won't be seen by anyone 🙄🫠)

Good news no1: I have opened up some more availability on a Thursday daytime at my office in Weymouth or online via Zoom. If you would like more information or know someone who is looking for individual, relationship or parenting counselling or trauma therapy please get in touch emmaoaksfordcounselling@yahoo.com

Good news no2: from next week I will be offering single session, solution focussed therapy!!! Please contact for more info.

Good news no3: I've been thinking more about my role in supporting parents and reflecting on my own parenting challenges and how parenting can often feel quite isolating.

I'm wondering if there is a need in the Weymouth, Portland, Dorchester area for a parent therapeutic support group? I'd love to know your thoughts. Please ping me a message if you're interested.
