EMILE LOPEZ

Integrative Psychotherapist (MBACP)

About Me

I’m Emile (he/him), an integrative psychotherapist with over 12 years’ experience supporting adults, young people, couples, and families in public and private mental health services in both the UK and Canada. 

I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and those times in life when you feel stuck, directionless, or overwhelmed.

My work is collaborative, creative, and tailored to each person I see. Working in an integrative way means I draw on different therapeutic models depending on your needs and preferences. I have particular experience with trauma-focused therapies such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and I also integrate Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Psychodynamic ways of working. Whatever approach we take, my aim is to help you safely explore and connect with your deeper feelings and needs that may be hard to access.

I believe the foundation of effective therapy is a strong, trusting relationship. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Alongside my therapy practice, I provide supervision to therapists and trainees, and have held teaching positions at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the University of British Columbia.

I offer both short-term, goal-focused therapy and longer-term exploratory work, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
