About Emily

Emily Whalley offers a gentle, attachment-informed approach to therapy. She combines client-centred listening with reflective work to help people understand their feelings and make practical changes. Emily aims to create a calm space where people can talk without feeling judged.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Emily focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She also helps with intimacy and relationship issues, self‑esteem, grief and coping with big life changes.

Background and approach

Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and family of origin problems. Her style is conversational and exploratory. Sessions often begin by mapping what matters most and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.

She draws on mindfulness and Jungian ideas to help people connect with deeper feelings and personal meaning. Emily has three years of clinical experience, including online work with people living in different countries. That background informs a flexible way of working that suits people who need therapy around other commitments.

Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with region and availability. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Ways of working Emily names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How attachment and mindful approaches work online

Emily uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice how early relationships shape current reactions and relationship patterns. That approach helps when someone feels repeated disconnection, abandonment or trust issues. She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the person to find their own solutions and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods to suit each person. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as understanding grows.

Online therapy with Emily is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and to maintain continuity when life changes.
