Hello, I am
Emily Quinton
For the deeply curious, the quietly sensitive, the ones who don't quite fit.
Emily Quinton is a writer, photographer, and educator based in Frome, Somerset. She has spent the last few years completing a Psychology degree, and is now building the next chapter of her work at the intersection of psychology, creativity, and what it means to be a curious, sensitive person in a world that wasn't quite designed for you.She is a mother of four neurodivergent children and is neurodivergent herself, which means her interest in how minds work, how people flourish, and how creativity sustains us is not theoretical. It's lived. She is currently training as a Somatic Counsellor, and writing her first memoir.

What I'm Working On
Memoir
I am writing my first book — a memoir that traces the experience of growing up as someone who didn't know why the world felt so different, and what happened when I finally found out. It is the project I have been building toward for years.
Psychology & Somatic Counsellor Training
I completed my Psychology degree with the Open University and graduate later this year. I have recently begun training as a Somatic Counsellor — work that weaves together psychology, the body, and lived experience. This is the long thread running through everything I do.
