Emily Wilks, BACP

Emily Wilks is an integrative psychotherapist trained in person-centred and psychodynamic approaches who brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the process, believing that the connection between therapist and client supports exploration and healing. Emily understands how relationships with oneself and others shape mental and physical wellbeing, and she helps people examine those patterns with care and curiosity.

She works with individuals facing low self-esteem, a sense of being stuck, anxiety and stress, and relationship difficulties that affect daily life. Emily also supports people processing childhood experiences of emotional and physical neglect, aiming to clarify how past events influence present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and challenges around self-love and sexuality.

Emily creates a trusting, collaborative space in which clients are seen as whole people, with both strengths and vulnerabilities. Her approach balances direct, honest reflection with compassion, and she moves at a pace that feels right for each person. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom.

Person-centred and psychodynamic approaches for online care

Person-centred therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic environment where the client’s own insights and values guide change. It is often used to support self-esteem, authenticity, and navigating life transitions by encouraging people to discover what they truly want and need.

Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence present patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating. This approach can help uncover the roots of anxiety, attachment difficulties, and repeated relationship challenges by exploring unconscious themes and relational dynamics.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapy itself, and Emily will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will tailor the pace and focus of sessions so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from home. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, enabling people to engage with registered professionals and therapists in a way that suits their daily routines and comfort levels.
