Clash of cultures: International childhood tales

How my relatives taught me resilience and strength to deal successfully with adversity.

In this Podcast Emma Radway-Bright recounts the most uplifting and inspirational stories from her international childhood and explores how these experiences can shape our identity and ultimately, our life. Emma lived in Africa for 5 years during her childhood before moving to Dublin then south London, then Nigeria and back to London again.

We will explore how childhood experiences can influence our mentality, ambition, decisions through life. How do our experiences observing, interacting and learning from our grandparents influence relationships, our approach to life and our confidence? Emma Radway Bright originally trained as a scientist and is now a counsellor and psychotherapist with a thriving Private Practice based in South East London. Emma works with people who are experiencing depression, stress, anxiety and the general pressures of modern day living.

She specialises in trauma - big and small - and works with people to resolve the emotional, physical and behavioural effects of any trauma they have experienced in the past, or more recently. Emma is Afro-Caribbean and also works with people from similar backgrounds, as she finds that often sharing similar cultural & ethnic heritage; and the context in which we experience life in the UK, helps the therapeutic process.
