Emily Williams, BACP

Emily Williams is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), offering person-centered support to individuals seeking change. She works from a humanistic and existential perspective while integrating mindful awareness and attention to bodily experience, creating a flexible approach tailored to each person.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including addiction, depression, abuse, anxiety, bereavement, suicidal ideation, anger, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, overwhelm, and trauma. Emily places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for progress, aiming to provide a compassionate and collaborative space where people can explore what feels stuck and discover new ways of living more fully.

Drawing on an integrative framework, Emily combines person-centered listening with existential reflection and mindfulness techniques to support emotional regulation, meaning-making, and present-moment awareness. She works with practical challenges and deep personal themes alike, helping individuals navigate transitions, manage symptoms, and strengthen relational and coping skills. Her goal is to help people build understanding, resilience, and clearer options for moving forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Emily draws on client-centered therapy to place the individual at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and collaboration so people can explore their own values, choices, and emotional needs. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and coping with life transitions.

She also uses elements of existential therapy to help clients examine meaning, responsibility, and identity when facing loss, grief, or major life changes. This way of working encourages reflection on purpose and personal freedom without prescribing answers.

Mindfulness therapy is integrated into sessions to build awareness of the present moment and bodily experience, which can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Emily works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and supportive.

Online therapy offers practical benefits in this practice - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options increase flexibility and help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
