About Emily
BACP, NCPS. Five years of professional work experience in the United Kingdom. Emily E Abonie helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, ADHD and wider mood concerns.
Emily works in a direct, person-focused way. She encourages people to talk through what is worrying them and to try small changes between sessions. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to build practical steps people can use day to day.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods that focus on the person in front of her. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused work for relationship and attachment concerns, mindfulness for managing distressing thoughts, and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.
Emily pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and choices. She may use psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and their origins over time. Work can therefore range from short-term problem solving to deeper, reflective work depending on what a person wants.
She supports people dealing with issues such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. She also addresses concerns often described as avoidant personality traits or narcissistic dynamics where these affect wellbeing.
Sessions are conducted in English and Emily accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats before booking and to follow the site process to arrange a first meeting.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling with Emily
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive, non-directive space to clarify feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy works with patterns of emotional connection and can help with relationship distress by identifying and changing how people respond to each other. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worrying thoughts and manage stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and will adapt the mix of methods to match a client's needs, aims and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may change as progress is made. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from different locations when international work is required, and it supports practical use of mindfulness and solution-focused exercises between meetings.Areas of expertise
