Emily Telami
Therapy for Emotional Health
"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" - Leonard Cohen
Welcome! I'm Emily.
​​For nearly a decade, I’ve supported individuals and couples as they navigate life’s challenges and work towards meaningful change. My approach is grounded in empathy and shaped by a rich tapestry of personal experiences.
​​
I come from a multicultural background and have lived in several countries, which gives me a deep understanding of issues like otherness, questioning belonging and cultural identity, intercultural and intergenerational trauma and the complexities of conflict.
Having experienced the impact of war and displacement myself, I truly appreciate what it means to feel unsettled or out of place. This lived experience allows me to connect with my clients on a genuine level and offer a compassionate, nuanced perspective in our work together.
​I offer three types of sessions:
​
In person: I offer a limited number of sessions in person in my Surbiton consulting room.
​
Zoom: It's easy and convenient.
​
Walk ‘n Talk: There’s something magical about Walk ‘n’ Talk sessions. Out in the open side by side walking and talking is relaxed, mindful and creative.
​​​
Sometimes a marriage or relationship just needs some TLC, some attention, some maintenance.
​
Sometimes it can do with an MOT. Sometimes it can mean moving forward to marriage or relationship 2.0.
​
Whatever your reason for reaching out to me I will use all of my experience to help both of you.
Supervision
I will start offering supervision to trainee counsellors and psychotherapists in 2026.
