Ms Emily Walton

Clinical Psychologist

“My professional journey has provided me with extensive experience in working with a wide range of mental health conditions, from anxiety and depression to trauma and more complex presentations.”

About Me

Experiencing anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma can feel overwhelming. With extensive clinical experience, I offer a grounded, supportive space to explore these challenges. My approach integrates diverse methods, including creative and play-based ways to process complex feelings and experiences. This helps us find strategies tailored to your unique needs, fostering greater stability and well-being. I aim to help individuals navigate difficulties and discover lasting solutions.

Approach

When those worries, low mood or difficult memories feel overwhelming, I focus on practical, paced work that honours your experience while opening space for new ways of coping. In sessions in Amsterdam or online, conducted in English, I blend structured reflection with creative and play-based tasks for children, adolescents and adults, setting manageable goals and reviewing progress regularly. Therapy moves between gentle exploration, real-time skills practice for stress and relationships, and short between-session experiments to try out change. This way of working suits people looking for steady, collaborative progress.
