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.
