Emily Smith, BACP

Emily Smith is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and ADHD-related challenges. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way so people can talk through what feels hard. Sessions aim to make space for what matters most to the client and to find practical ways to manage daily pressures.

Emily uses a person-centred approach and draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She often combines elements of attachment-based work and mindfulness in conversation, and may bring in ideas from narrative or Jungian approaches when that fits. This mix is used to focus on relationships, patterns of thinking, and the small steps someone can try between sessions.

She has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That registration reflects her adherence to the association's code of ethics. Emily is LGBTQ+ friendly and supports people through a wide range of concerns including chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, grief, and issues around control and isolation.

Sessions balance listening with practical tools such as mindfulness exercises, grounding and emotion regulation strategies. Emily invites people to bring whatever feels important and works collaboratively to set goals and next steps. She asks prospective clients to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a time to talk.

How therapy approaches translate to online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current feelings. Online sessions using this lens can help people notice recurring relationship themes and practise new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and relies on listening, reflection and acceptance to help someone feel heard. It is useful for people who need a steady, empathetic space to sort through worries and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will decide whether to emphasise relational work, mindfulness practices or practical skills like emotion regulation, and adjust as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoid needing to be on camera if someone prefers a phone call. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor session length and focus to help therapy fit into everyday routines while working through the issues that brought someone to therapy.
