Dr Emma Punter first began her training with a BSc in Psychology at Durham University, before going on to complete her Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City, University of London. Her path has taken her through NHS services, including work as an Assistant Psychologist, where she has supported children, young people, and young adults.
In the therapy room, Dr Punter brings an integrative and collaborative approach. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Schema Therapy (ST). She helps clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviours, while collaboratively identifying strategies to manage difficult feelings and change unhelpful patterns.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering you as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.
Dr Punter works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, self-harm, eating disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and complex trauma. Through her work, she works in partnership with clients to support them in working towards a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and meaningful.
