Emily Williams, BACP

Emily Williams is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression and the knock-on effects of health challenges. She uses a calm, straightforward style so people can talk through what matters most. Emily is BACP accredited, and she brings four years of direct clinical experience to sessions. Emily works from a human-centred base that puts the person’s experience first. She draws on client-centred ideas to listen carefully and respond to what each person needs. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, choice and how life changes shape identity. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice thoughts and body sensations in the present moment. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps as well as reflective conversation. That might include noticing patterns that keep problems going, practising grounding exercises, and trying new ways of handling difficult conversations. She also helps people manage long-term conditions, chronic pain and other health-related stress where those issues appear alongside mood or relationship concerns. Emily has worked with a wide range of difficulties including addiction, trauma, bereavement, anger and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to be compassionate and collaborative, with the person’s priorities shaping the work. This makes it possible to adjust the pace and focus as needs shift. People who want to begin can expect a straightforward process for getting started and a therapist who checks in about goals and next steps at regular points in therapy.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and offering non-judgemental listening so people feel heard and understood. It helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and feelings of overwhelm by foregrounding the person’s own goals and insights.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and the ways life changes affect a person’s sense of purpose. It is helpful for people facing major life transitions, health-related changes, grief or questions about identity.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and body-based awareness exercises that reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety, chronic pain and stress. These practices are used alongside talking work to build practical skills for day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusts as priorities shift.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and the ability to continue work when living in a different region or country.
