Emily Morrow - Counsellor
Providing a calm, engaged and responsive counselling space
Combining a warm, caring, and accepting approach with a direct and practical perspective on what is at the heart of your counselling needs.
What Do You Need Help With?
I work with teens, young adults and older clients and I enjoy the richness and diversity that brings into our work together. That said, there are several areas in which I focus.
Combining a warm, caring, and accepting approach with a direct and practical perspective on what is at the heart of your counselling needs.
Individual clients
Stress and anxiety
Clients report that even after a couple of sessions together, their anxiety and stress levels are noticeably reduced.
Grief and loss
. This restorative process supports growth and gradually lessens the pain of loss.
Family estrangement
I will work with you to achieve an outcome that is best for you.
Narcissism and gaslighting
While not easy, the process can be ultimately rewarding and freeing so clients can rebuild their lives.
Self-confidence and assertiveness
Combining coaching skills with counselling expertise in working with clients.
Relationship management
Relationships within the workplace, between friends or within a family, managing interactions. How to get better outcomes.
Isolation and loneliness
I work with clients to help them develop the skills to reach out to others, including practical strategies to build lasting friendships and community.
Relationship/Couple Counselling
I will meet with both of you during our first couple counseling session (a “conjoint” session), and then will meet individually with each of you on one occasion after that. In our next meeting, we will together develop a plan of action that will guide our later work together.
What is relationship counselling?
Relationship counselling focusses on the challenges and strengths in that dynamic and how to change it for the better.
How can relationship counselling help?
As your relationship counsellor, I will be like a native guide to help you through the peaks and valleys of your relationship journey.
My approach to relationship counselling
Relationship counseling can involve intense positive and negative emotions. I find clients do their best work together in a calm and reflective counselling setting.
What to expect
Because having the right “chemistry“ in a counselling relationship is so important, I take the time to be sure you and I will work together well. I suggest we have a free 15-minute phone or zoom call before our first session to answer your questions and get to know each other a bit.
After that, during our first counselling session, you can tell me more about yourself and we can discuss how best to use our time together. I will listen carefully and ask questions to understand your counselling needs so we can delve into what will be most helpful for you.
You get to set the agenda including how often we meet and what we focus on. My role is to provide guidance and experience to create a safe and supportive environment in which you feel comfortable. My work with individual clients is confidential.

About Emily
By combining my analytical skills (as a former lawyer), with intuitive and empathic counselling skills I work with the heart and the head to achieve optimal outcomes for clients.
Every counsellor brings a different approach to their work. My counselling background is somewhat unique in that I practiced family law for 20 years working with individuals and families
I realised the law could provide some solutions for people’s problems, but that there were many issues it could not address. I wanted to work with clients at a deeper level to achieve lasting benefits. This led me to get a PG Dip in counselling at Auckland University.
