About Emily
Emily Williams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with common pressures of early adulthood and other life stages, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career changes, and neurodiversity-related issues such as ADHD and autism.
Emily uses a person-centred approach that shapes how she meets people in sessions. That means conversations focus on the client's experience and what matters to them. She combines this with existential thinking - looking at meaning, choice, and responsibility - and practical mindfulness skills aimed at grounding in the present.
Sessions typically involve talking through specific problems and noticing how patterns show up in daily life. She may offer mindfulness-based techniques and practical ways to steady emotions and improve sleeping or coping with stress. Work on relationships may include communication strategies and looking at attachment or abandonment concerns.
Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, addiction recovery, anger and overwhelm, and long-term health or caregiving stress. Emily notes experience with issues linked to adoption and foster care, cancer and chronic illness, and separation or divorce.
She offers therapy in English and accepts clients based in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Pricing varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Emily uses person-centred, existential and mindfulness work online
Emily works from a person-centred perspective that prioritises the client's own experience. In practice this means sessions focus on what the person brings, with the counsellor listening, reflecting, and helping clarify values and goals. This approach is useful for people feeling unsure about next steps, identity questions, or emotional overwhelm.Existential therapy in her work looks at questions of meaning, responsibility and choice. It helps people who feel stuck after big life changes, like leaving education, starting a new job, or facing relationship shifts. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with simple exercises for managing anxiety, improving sleep and reducing reactivity in stressful situations.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. She will work collaboratively to trial ideas and notice what helps, adjusting methods to suit the client's needs and preferences. That shared process makes it easier to focus on practical steps alongside reflective work.
