Emma Rose Byham

Emma founded The Personal Growth Project in 2017 to support the growth of survivors of emotional and psychological abuse, through her writing and her mentoring. She has established a large online community, and her social media posts have become a source of providing clarity. Her gift is to put into words an experience that is often hard to describe. Emma’s background is working with young people who have experienced abuse, to help them recognise healthy and unhealthy bonds in their relationships, and to help them gain confidence and clarity. Emma has since studied Counselling and will complete her Psychology degree in 2023. She trained in integrative therapeutic counselling, combining person-centered, psychodynamic and CBT methods. She has in-depth knowledge of the experiences of abuse which has been gained through attending courses, first person accounts, self-teaching and personal experience. She published her first book, Was It Even Abuse?, in 2022.
