About Emily

Emily Williams is a counsellor who helps people facing worry, low mood, relationship strain and life changes. She meets people where they are and offers calm, practical support for problems like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and trauma. Emily works in English and accepts international clients for online sessions.

She holds BACP credentialing, which is shown as BACP. Emily draws on a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person's experience in the room.

Background and approach

She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and how life changes feel, and brings mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the person's needs rather than prescriptive. With four years of practice she has supported people with a wide range of concerns.

These include stress, sleeping problems, parenting strain, intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar difficulties, codependency and attachment-related problems. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Emily aims to create a compassionate, collaborative space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

She focuses on building trust and exploring practical ways to cope and make choices. The work often mixes listening, reflective questions and simple mindfulness exercises. People who want straightforward, empathetic counselling and online options may find her approach useful.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person's lead. In an online session this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and helps the person feel heard and understood. It suits people wanting a supportive space to talk through their difficulties. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how life transitions feel. Online conversations can be used to examine values, clarify choices and face uncertainty in practical ways. This approach can help when someone is wrestling with big life questions or coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. These techniques can be practised during or between sessions to reduce rumination or help with sleep and anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying different ways of working and adapting as things change. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work while travelling or living abroad.
