About Emily

Emily Williams is a counsellor who helps people who are finding day-to-day life hard. She offers a calm space to talk about stress, sleep problems, anxiety, relationships, grief and other issues that get in the way of wellbeing. Emily holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Emily draws on person-centred ways of working, along with existential and mindfulness ideas. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations also pay attention to how the body and present-moment awareness affect mood and sleep.

Over four years of practice she has worked with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, depression and suicidal thinking, anger and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with parenting challenges, career pressure, chronic illness and life transitions. Sleep and rest difficulties are included among the concerns she addresses.

In sessions Emily aims to build a collaborative relationship. She listens without judgement and helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and develop clearer choices. This can include simple mindfulness exercises and ways to improve daily routines that affect sleep and energy.

Appointments follow a structure guided by the client’s needs. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, and ongoing work is revisited regularly to check what is helping and what might need changing.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics. It can help with low self-esteem, relationship worries and daily stress by offering steady, listening support.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility, inviting clients to consider values and goals when life feels confusing or overwhelming. This approach can be useful for people facing major life changes or questions about purpose.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and calm the body and mind. These techniques often support sleep, anxiety and emotional regulation when practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and together decide which ideas to use. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to attend from different locations. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed and options that better match someone’s schedule. The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking to ensure the format suits your circumstances.
