About Emily
BACP. 4 years' experience. Emily Williams works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, intimacy, sleep, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career issues and bipolar-related challenges. She also focuses on ADHD, abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, chronic illness and pain, caregiving stress, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, and divorce and separation.
Emily uses a person-centred approach and draws on existential ideas and mindfulness in sessions. That means conversations begin with what matters most to the client. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, helping people talk through their difficulties and notice how they respond in the moment.
She describes her work as collaborative. The counsellor listens to understand and then works with the client to try different ways of approaching issues. Mindfulness techniques and attention to bodily experience are sometimes used to help with anxiety, trauma reactions and sleep difficulties.
Emily has worked with people coping with addiction, bereavement and suicidal thinking alongside more common concerns such as low mood, relationship strain and anger. Her background includes four years of casework with these presenting issues and related life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and Emily accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and clients use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Emily often draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to the client's priorities so they can explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach helps with low mood, relationship strain and self-esteem issues.She also uses Existential Therapy to look at life choices, meaning and personal responsibility. That approach can help people facing major life changes, grief or questions about their identity and direction.
Mindfulness Therapy features in her work as a way to notice bodily reactions and present-moment thoughts. Mindfulness practices can aid anxiety, sleep problems and managing overwhelming emotions.
Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. The counsellor will discuss methods during early sessions and adapt them to the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than impose a single style.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for shorter check-ins or when quieter surroundings are easier to arrange.
