About Emily

Emily Williams is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of practice. She works with adults who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Emily uses a person-centred foundation alongside existential ideas. That means she focuses on a respectful, straightforward relationship and on what matters to the person right now. Mindfulness and simple body-awareness techniques are woven into sessions to help with stress, sleep problems and strong emotions.

In practical terms she listens for patterns that keep people stuck. Then she helps clients try small, manageable changes. That might include noticing physical signs of tension, testing a new way to speak up, or tracking mood and reactions between meetings.

She has worked with people facing trauma, addiction and low self-esteem, and with those coping with major life changes. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the individual. The emphasis is on clear, real steps rather than abstract advice.

For someone who snaps at loved ones, struggles with simmering resentment, or feels overwhelmed at work, Emily offers straightforward help to understand and handle those moments. To start, people use the online matching and booking flow to choose a first appointment and explain what they want to work on.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Emily uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise a respectful, straightforward relationship. That approach focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, anger and relationship strain.

She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning, choice and responsibility. This helps when people are facing big life changes, loss or feelings of aimlessness. Mindfulness Therapy is used to bring attention to the present moment and to the body, which can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use, based on the client’s goals and what feels practical. That collaborative planning is checked and adjusted over time.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are offered when you book because the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, breathing practices and reflective talk to suit remote appointments and everyday life.
