Emma Devai

Why | Growing up, I struggled with the way I looked and often felt like I wasn’t good enough. Those experiences shaped my curiosity about why we come to see ourselves in certain ways and how our experiences can influence the relationship we have with ourselves. Becoming a counsellor gave me the opportunity to use that curiosity to help others understand themselves with more compassion and begin to see their own worth.

Who | I work with children, young people and adults, supporting them with things such as low self-worth, overthinking, anxiety, people-pleasing and difficult life experiences.

How | I’m an integrative counsellor, which means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I adapt the way I work to the individual, creating a space where you can feel heard, understood and able to be yourself without judgement.

My Passion | I’m fascinated by people and what sits underneath the way we think, feel and behave. Outside of counselling, I love spending time with my family, being outdoors and enjoying the simple things in life.

My Little-Known Fact | I have a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice and Crime Control. I’ve always been curious about the story behind behaviour and understanding what leads people down different paths in life. I also enjoy walking in nature and taking photos of all the beautiful wildlife

My Self-Care Tip | Always make time for the things you enjoy.
