About Emily

Emily Williams helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and addiction. She uses person-centred ways of working and brings a practical focus to conversations. Emily is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Emily works with a wide range of concerns, including issues linked to trauma and abuse, parenting, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career stress. She also supports people dealing with neurodiversity, long-term illness, bereavement, adoption and foster care matters, and challenges such as codependency, dissociation and attachment difficulties. Her listing notes support for LGBT matters, bipolar and ADHD related difficulties as well.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Existential Therapy and elements of Mindfulness. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week, exploring feelings and choices in plain language. Practical attention is paid to how thoughts and behaviours affect daily life and coping.

Emily describes the therapeutic relationship as central to change. She offers a steady presence while helping people reflect on values, meaning and the small changes they can try between sessions. Work may include noticing body awareness, practising simple mindfulness and testing different ways of responding to difficult feelings.

She practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Emily accepts international clients through the service and works with adults to address the concerns listed above. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process to arrange a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, giving them space to talk and to be heard without judgement; it helps with low self-esteem, relationship problems and feeling overwhelmed. Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and life choices, which can be useful for people facing major life changes or questions about direction. Mindfulness Therapy includes simple practices for noticing thoughts and bodily sensations, useful for anxiety, stress and sleep problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences at the start and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

The listing does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when days are busy. Some formats also need less bandwidth or allow you to keep the camera off for a shorter check-in; talk through practical preferences with the counsellor when you arrange your first session.
