About Emily
Emily Williams is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stressful and painful life experiences. She works with adults who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, grieving, struggling with addiction, or questioning their relationships and sense of self. Emily uses straightforward conversation and steady support to help people find clearer ways forward.
She trained and practises with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Emily draws on person-centred ideas to keep sessions grounded in the client’s experience.
Background and approach
She also brings existential thinking to help people consider meaning and choice when life feels confusing. Mindfulness and attention to the body are woven into her sessions when helpful. This can mean simple breathing and awareness exercises, or pausing to notice how feelings show up physically.
These tools aim to help people respond to difficulty rather than react automatically. Emily believes the therapeutic relationship matters most. She offers a calm, non-judgemental way of talking through hard topics so people can try new approaches in daily life.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including mood problems, parenting stress, coping with change, grief, trauma and identity questions. Emily has four years of professional experience and offers online sessions aimed at fitting around busy lives.

How Emily blends therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. It helps when someone needs to be heard and understood before making changes.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, responsibility and choice. This approach is useful for people facing life transitions, identity doubts, or moments that feel empty or overwhelming.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasises present-moment awareness and simple practices like breathing or body noticing. These techniques can reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and help with anxiety and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try ways of working that suit the client’s needs. That collaborative process can shift over time as priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face when geography makes in-person work difficult. Phone sessions can fit into a short break, use less bandwidth, or feel easier when not on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. Registered and accredited professionals use these options to make therapy more flexible and accessible for many different routines and schedules.
