Emma Stannard, NCPS

Emma Stannard is a Pluralistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Mindfulness Coach based in Devon, United Kingdom. She brings a warm, collaborative style to her practice and supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. With three years of experience and the NCPS credential - a recognised counselling qualification - she combines professional training with an empathetic, down-to-earth approach.

Emma offers a client-centred space where each person’s unique story is respected. She works with individuals who feel stuck, lack motivation or are navigating transitions such as separation, parenting changes, midlife shifts or grief. Her practice also addresses more specific concerns including panic attacks, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Rather than following a single method, Emma integrates a range of therapeutic approaches to suit the needs of each person. She draws on person-centred ideas to honour personal experience, cognitive-behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, psychodynamic perspectives to explore how the past shapes the present, narrative therapy to reframe life stories, hypnotherapy for relaxation and inner exploration, and mindfulness to build present-moment coping skills. This pluralistic stance means therapy is shaped collaboratively, aiming to strengthen resilience and promote meaningful change.
