About Emily

Emily Wilks is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems. She works with those coping with life changes and with people affected by trauma and abuse. Emily brings a straightforward and caring presence to sessions and aims to build trust from the first meeting.

Emily practises with a focus on the therapeutic relationship. She encourages honest conversation about current feelings and patterns that repeat in relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs at their own pace, with both present-day concerns and past experiences considered. Her background includes work that explores how childhood neglect and difficult early relationships can affect adult life. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they appear, and will gently look at how these issues show up in thinking and behaviour.

The emphasis is on understanding rather than blame. In sessions Emily uses a direct yet compassionate style. She invites people to reflect on their emotions and choices, and to try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Practical conversation and steady exploration sit alongside moments of noticing feelings in the room. Emily has three years of experience and is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers a calm, reflective space for anyone wanting to work on self-love, communication problems, codependency, or the fallout from sexual assault and abuse.

People who choose Emily often want a thoughtful, relational approach that balances warmth with clarity. She aims to help clients feel steadier and more connected to what they want from life.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Emily lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Emily commonly uses person-centred and psychodynamic ways of working. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers; it suits issues like low self-esteem and life transition. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from past relationships and how these show up now, which can help with attachment, abandonment and long-standing relationship difficulties.

Finding the best approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as you learn more about what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading expressions. Phone sessions work well when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
