About Emily
Emily Williams is a counsellor who helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. She works with individuals facing addiction, depression, trauma and relationship problems. Emily uses a calm, respectful style and aims to help people find clearer ways of coping and making decisions.
She holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has four years of clinical experience. Emily draws on person-centred ideas to prioritise the relationship in therapy. That means she listens closely and follows what matters most to each person she meets.
Her approach blends person-centred care with existential thinking and mindfulness. In practice this can mean talking through difficult feelings, noticing how the body responds in the moment, and looking at what gives life meaning. Sessions are paced to the individual and focus on small, usable changes as well as deeper reflection.
Clients come with a wide range of concerns, including bereavement and end-of-life matters linked to hospice and end-of-life counselling, caregiver stress, chronic illness, parenting strain and identity questions. Emily aims to help people manage symptoms like sleep disruption, low mood, anger and anxiety while also addressing relationship and practical life issues.
She prefers a collaborative style where the person sets goals and the counsellor supports progress. People who want a compassionate listener who also offers practical techniques for coping often find this way of working helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emily uses person-centred ideas that put the relationship first, which means the counsellor listens actively and follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps with feelings of low mood, anxiety and relationship strain by focusing on understanding and support.She also draws on existential therapy, which invites people to consider meaning, values and choice. That can be useful for coping with grief, life transitions and questions that come up during end-of-life and hospice-related concerns.
Mindfulness practice is used to help people notice bodily signals and present-moment thoughts. Simple exercises can reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt techniques and pacing in collaboration with the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuity of care for people who live further away or who need to keep seeing the same counsellor across borders.
