About me
Emily McArthur - MNCS (Snr Accred), MBACP, BA (Hons), Ad. Prof. Dip. PC
I’m a senior accredited counsellor and psychotherapist based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. Here's a bit more about my background and experience. You can also find out about my qualifications and training.
My background
Emily McArthur, counsellor at Clear Insight Counselling
My first step into the world of counselling came in 2000 when I volunteered with the Nightline Association while at university. I was trained by Samaritans to offer support to other students, and it sparked an interest in counselling that has grown from there.
In 2012, I decided to turn my volunteering passion into a full-time career, and began training as a counsellor. I trained for three years in psychotherapeutic counselling, and in January 2016 I opened Clear Insight Counselling, my counselling practice in Leamington Spa.
Working to support, improve and increase awareness of adult mental health is something I continue to be passionate about. That’s why you’ll find me regularly posting about counselling and mental health on my Facebook and Twitter pages.

My counselling experience
After years of volunteering and professional practice, I'm experienced in providing counselling for a wide range of mental health and wellbeing issues, including depression and anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, stress, abuse, self-harm and trauma. I've also completed specialist training in bereavement and loss.
In my volunteering roles I've worked as a telephone counsellor for the Nightline Association, and spent two years as a bereavement counsellor for the charity Cruse Bereavement Care. I also completed a placement in a Leamington counselling practice (All About People) as part of my training, where I provided face-to-face counselling for a range of issues.
I’ve been a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) since 2016, and in 2018 I became a Senior Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCS), in recognition of my advanced training and experience. In 2020, I also became a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO).
