Emily Williams, BACP

Emily Williams is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of clinical experience who offers person-centred support to individuals working through emotional challenges. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practices from a humanistic and existential perspective while integrating mindfulness and attention to bodily awareness in the present moment.

Across her casework Emily has supported people facing addiction, depression, abuse, anxiety, bereavement, suicidal ideation, anger, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, overwhelm and trauma. Her approach blends Person-Centred principles with existential exploration so clients can make sense of their experiences and consider new ways of living. Mindfulness and present-moment awareness are woven into sessions to help clients notice patterns and build practical coping strategies.

Emily places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work and aims to provide a compassionate, nonjudgemental and collaborative space. She works with each person to tailor interventions to their individual needs, helping them explore immediate concerns and longer-term goals so they can move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the therapist's empathetic presence and unconditional acceptance, creating space for a person to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach can be helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and general anxiety as it supports self-exploration and personal growth.

Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and values, helping clients grapple with life changes, loss, and questions about purpose. It can be useful when people face big transitions, grief or a sense of stagnation and want to consider how their decisions align with their values.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to notice thoughts, sensations and emotions without judgement. It can support stress reduction, overwhelm and emotional regulation and is often paired with other approaches to build practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Emily will work collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support across different locations.
