About Emily
Emily Smith is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She works with individuals who are anxious, struggling with self-esteem or navigating life with ADHD. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at making difficult problems easier to talk about.
She uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience at the centre of sessions. That means listening closely and responding to what the person brings each week rather than following a rigid script.
Background and approach
She also draws on ideas from attachment work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques appear in her approach when helping people manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. Mindfulness practices are used to build focus and calm, often with short exercises to practise between sessions.
Jungian ideas can be used to explore meaning, dreams and deeper personal themes when clients want that kind of work. Emily is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom.
She has three years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness, caregiving stress, communication problems and issues around guilt and forgiveness. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Therapy follows a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based work pays attention to relationships and how early bonds shape feelings and behaviour. It can help people understand patterns that affect trust and closeness and make different choices in relationships.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says. This approach helps people feel heard, explore their concerns at their own pace and build self-understanding.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, brings practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions. Short skills practice and breathing or grounding exercises are often used between sessions to build steadying routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust the plan based on what works for the client. People often try a mix of listening-based work, mindfulness and skills practice to match their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions suit in-depth conversations and visual connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports quicker check-ins and text messaging allows shorter reflections spread over time. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
