About Me

Hi, my name is Emily, I’m married to Matt and we live in York with our two children, Sophia and Oscar.

I trained for a degree in counselling at university and when I graduated in 2008, I felt called to serve the church and have been doing so ever since. You can read more of my story here.

I have also worked with Reflect York and worked closely with men and women who are facing a pregnancy crisis, choice or baby loss.

I currently head up the pastoral team at York City Church, and have just become a certified christian coach, helping clients to discover their purpose.

I am passionate to see people being all they can be, realising their full potential and being encouraged to live out the plan God has set for them, and I especially want to see parents of children with additional needs receive hope and strength for their journey.

The heart of this blog is that together we would:

  • know and love Jesus more.
  • be shaped and changed by better self awareness and godly insight.
  • have a better sense of community built on trust, love and encouraging one another.
  • be looking towards wholeness and restoration within our lives and relationships.
  • find freedom from all that holds us back in doing God’s plan for our lives.

You are so welcome to join me on this journey and I pray that it can be helpful and encouraging for you x
