# Emma Hutt MSc - Cognitive Behavioural Therapist

Emma Hutt is an accredited Rational Emotive Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (RECBT) and BABCP-qualified practitioner based in Hawkhurst, West Kent, offering face-to-face and online therapy to adults throughout Kent, Sussex and beyond.

Emma specialises in treating depression, anxiety disorders including panic attacks, health anxiety, social anxiety, OCD and phobias, alongside emotional difficulties such as anger, shame, guilt, hurt and low self-esteem. Her approach is grounded in the Stoic principle that people are not disturbed by circumstances themselves, but by their interpretations of them—a philosophy she uses to help clients develop more helpful perspectives.

Sessions begin with a comprehensive assessment where Emma understands your history, current challenges and therapy goals. She then guides you through examining the relationship between your thoughts, beliefs and behaviours, identifying unhelpful patterns and gradually replacing them with more constructive perspectives. The therapeutic work extends beyond the session room, with practical behavioural exercises designed to embed new thinking patterns into everyday life.

What distinguishes Emma's practice is her dual qualification in both RECBT and CBT, her accessibility—offering evening appointments for working professionals—and her commitment to ensuring therapy suits your needs, with honest guidance if alternative support would be more beneficial. Her aim is equipping you with lasting tools for self-management long after therapy concludes.
