About Emily
Emily Groves is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which means she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She helps with common pressures like stress, anxiety and depression, and also supports people facing relationship concerns and grief.
Emily creates a welcoming space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling without fear of judgement.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not on labels. She encourages small changes that can build confidence and improve day-to-day coping. In sessions she listens carefully and works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
Work may include talking through emotions, noticing patterns in relationships, and developing ways to manage anger or low mood. She also offers support around career strain, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD. Emily has particular interest in parenting difficulties and in issues linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family dynamics.
She is experienced in helping people cope with body image concerns, caregiver stress, or the ripple effects of cancer and bereavement. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Clients can expect practical ideas, reflective listening and steady encouragement.
The focus is on helping people find ways to feel steadier and clearer in everyday life.

Tailored approaches and flexible online therapy
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then testing small alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method can be useful for stress, depression and daily worry. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and relationship patterns so clients can see how past experiences affect current connections and parenting choices. That work is helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and blended family dynamics.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Emily works together with each client to decide what feels most useful. She will adapt methods to match the person's goals, pace and what feels comfortable during sessions.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging, giving flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments.
