🌟NEW BIRDIE OFFERING: CLINICAL SUPERVISION🌟

For social workers looking to get curious, think creatively & grow their clinical practice.

Working with kids, teens & families is meaningful work. It’s also complex as we know and sometimes we need a space to connect, reflect and brainstorm what’s next.

I’m especially passionate about supporting clinicians working with children and youth, including those wanting to deepen their skills in:

✨Play-based & creative therapy
✨EMDR with children & youth
✨Trauma & attachment
✨Family work
✨Child & adolescent mental health
✨Anxiety & emotional regulation

With training in Advanced Play Therapy, Theraplay, EMDR and child-focused/play-based EMDR, I love helping clinicians think creatively about how we adapt our clinical work to meet kids where they are.

If you’re looking for a relational, approachable and collaborative supervision space… reach out! Let’s see if we’re a good fit for eachother 🫶🏼

Sitting down with someone new can feel a bit nerve-wracking and unknown. With Emma, there’s no expectation to have the “right” words or a clear place to start.

This is a space where teens don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or rush the process. Just a place to land and slowly figure things out together 💛

As Social Work Month comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on how meaningful (and human!) this work really is.

At Birdie, it looks like slowing things down, getting curious, and showing up with care for kids, teens, and the people who love them.

To the social workers holding space in big and quiet ways… we see you 💛

✨Meet Emma Pilkington MSW, RSW✨

Emma supports children, youth, and families through the messy, meaningful parts of being human. She works with self-esteem challenges, anxiety, low mood, attachment concerns, eating disorders, and experiences of self-harm.

Her approach is warm, curious, and down-to-earth, drawing from DBT, ACT, somatic, and attachment-based therapies to help youth and families make sense of their experiences, navigate emotions, and reconnect with themselves (and each other).

Emma is all about creating a space where you can show up just as you are 💛 Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find her playing sports, travelling, or spending time with her people.

If you’d like to connect with Emma, feel free to book a complimentary connection call to see if she’s the right fit for you and/or your family.
