Junior Psychologist
Emjeta Pllana
Emjeta is about to start her final year of a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. So far she has completed the equivalent of an MSc in Psycholgical Therapies and on completion of this training she will be a Doctor in Psychology. Previously she has completed an undergraduate degree in BSc Psychology. She is a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
The main model taught in her Doctorate is CBT and Emjeta also has excellent knowledge and clinical experience of other therapy approaches. This gives her a broad clinical base enabling her to tailor her therapy to each person's individual needs. She has previously practiced within an integrative framework combined with a humanistic approach, where the individual is not seen as static but in search for meaning and fulfilment.
Emjeta has particular interest in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred and Trauma Informed therapy. The cornerstone of her counselling is fostering a safe and collaborative working relationship with her clients. She aims to provide the space, containment and emotional attunement that is needed to develop trust with clients, taking them through an exploratory journey, examining together their past experiences, and how they influence their ability to cope and make changes in the present.
She has provided counselling to people from different backgrounds presenting various health difficulties:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- OCD
- BDD
- Health Anxiety
- Habit disorders like Skin picking
- Trauma
- Loss and bereavement
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship issues
- Long term health conditions
Emjeta also has a background in charities and non-profit organisations within various supportive and therapeutic roles, working with minors and vulnerable adults with experiences of trauma and adversity, as well as women survivors of gender-based violence and sexual violence.
TESTIMONIALS
Dear Rosa, thank you so much for organising my sessions with Emjeta. My therapy with her was absolutely excellent. I'm in a much better place. She's extremely warm and skilled and she has helped me to feel so much better equipped to face the world. I wanted to pass you a quick note to say how useful it was, and of course, to say a big thank you for putting us in touch. M.M
