About Emily

Emily Williams is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or worn down by life. She offers a calm, straightforward space to talk through worries and make small, practical changes. Emily uses listening and gentle questioning to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

She holds a BACP credential, which is listed as BACP in her profile. Emily has four years of experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing work stress, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Existential and Mindfulness ideas. That means sessions often focus on the client’s experience in the moment, building understanding, and encouraging practical steps that fit everyday life. Mindfulness tools and attention to bodily experience are sometimes used to reduce rumination and increase calm.

Emily describes the therapeutic relationship as central. She aims to be compassionate and collaborative, helping each person find what works for them rather than following a fixed plan. Sessions are conversational, focused and paced to the person’s needs.

Emily practises from the United Kingdom and offers work in English. If you are considering counselling, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions can keep that same focus by offering a steady, non-judgemental space to talk and to try out new ways of handling difficulties. This approach is helpful for concerns like low self-esteem, relationship strain and general anxiety.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how people respond to life’s big questions. In an online setting this can involve talking through values, decisions and the sense of direction in life. It is often useful for people coping with grief, life transitions and questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which ideas or techniques to use, based on what the client wants to achieve and what feels comfortable. Sessions can adapt over time as needs change.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Check which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Confirming options allows you to choose what best fits your routine and preferences.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
