About Emily

Emily Williams is a counsellor who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming. She offers straightforward support for common struggles like anxiety, depression, bereavement and addiction. Her style is calm and collaborative, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope day to day.

She draws on person-centred ideas from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP, and combines these with existential thinking and mindfulness practices.

Background and approach

Sessions spend time on what matters most to the client now, and on practical ways to respond to difficult emotions. Emily pays attention to how people experience their bodies and feelings in the present moment.

Her work is suited to someone who wants a respectful, down-to-earth space to talk through relationship stress, issues with intimacy, parenting strain, work-related pressure, or long-term health and caregiving challenges. She also supports people navigating loss, trauma, ADHD-related struggles, and questions about identity and sexual orientation.

Emily has four years of experience and offers online options to reach people across the United Kingdom and beyond. Sessions can be matched to personal needs and scheduled to fit different routines. In sessions she aims to build a trusting connection first, then help clients try small changes that can make everyday life easier.

Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings.

Ways of working Emily names

How Emily’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel heard and understood, which is useful for worries about relationships, self-esteem or major life changes.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when someone feels stuck, questions life direction, or is coping with loss and big transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to calm the mind and notice bodily sensations. It can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, personal preferences and practical needs with the client, then try methods that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility that suits many routines. Video calls let people use facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can fit a short check-in or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities and different time zones, while allowing therapists to tailor each session to the person’s needs.
