Emily Williams

Emily Williams is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP professional with four years of experience and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or stuck. She is straightforward and calm in sessions, aiming to create a warm space where people can talk about what matters to them.

Her approach is rooted in client-centred work, with an emphasis on the person’s own experience and choices. She also draws on existential ideas about meaning and life decisions, and uses mindfulness and body awareness to help people stay present. Sessions focus on listening, exploring feelings, and finding practical ways to cope day to day.

Emily has worked with a wide range of presenting concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, mood difficulties, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing long-term illness, caregiving stress, autism and Asperger Syndrome related worries, ADHD, and challenges around adoption or abandonment.

In the room she aims to be non-judgemental and collaborative. Conversations are paced to match what each person needs, whether that is talking through current problems, reflecting on past experiences, or practising awareness techniques to manage intensity.

People often come with single issues or a mix of problems across work, home and health. Emily helps them notice patterns, try new responses, and build clearer choices for moving forward.

How Emily's approaches translate to remote support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, emphasising listening, empathy and respect to help people explore what matters to them. It is useful for worries about relationships, low mood, self-esteem and navigating change.

Existential Therapy encourages reflection on meaning, choice and values. It can help when someone is facing life transitions, grief, questions about identity, or feelings of aimlessness.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to manage stress and overwhelming emotion. It is often helpful for anxiety, sleep problems and recovering a sense of calm.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust over time as progress is made.
