Hello! I’m Emma Wells, born in 1989, and currently immersed in the field of psychological counseling for children. Beyond my role as a counselor, I’ve also delved into the realm of content creation, specializing in crafting meaningful names for little ones. I firmly believe that each name is a profound gift, a companion that accompanies a child from the moment they step into this world through every milestone in their life’s journey.
My passion for psychological counseling stems from a deep understanding of the crucial formative years and the impact they have on an individual’s well-being. As a creative name curator, I find joy in weaving stories and emotions into each name, aiming to provide parents with not just a label but a source of inspiration and positivity for their child’s entire life.
With a commitment to fostering emotional well-being and creating a sense of identity from the very start, I embark on this journey as both a counselor and a creative force, dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children and their families.
