About Emily
Emily Wilks is a counsellor who commonly supports people facing anxiety, stress and relationship strain. She helps clients who feel low in self-esteem, stuck in life decisions, or uneasy about their sense of self. Many people also come to her to talk through past trauma, including emotional or physical neglect.
Emily takes a collaborative approach in sessions. She focuses on building a trusting connection and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Background and approach
The aim is to create a space where someone can consider current feelings, behaviours and relationships without judgement. In practical work she combines exploring present-day thoughts and emotions with looking at how past relationships affect now. Sessions often involve reflecting on patterns that keep someone feeling stuck and trying small, manageable steps to respond differently.
Emily balances a direct style with warmth and curiosity. She pays attention to strengths as well as struggles. Over time the work aims to help people notice where they would like change and to develop clearer choices.
The pace is set by the client, with gentle challenge when it feels useful. Emily is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions tailored to what each person needs and wants to explore.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Emily draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasise understanding current feeling patterns and the role of past relationships. One approach focuses on exploring present thoughts and emotions to identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes in behaviour; this can help with anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Another approach attends to how early relationships and attachment affect how people relate now, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and for making sense of past trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process where methods are adapted as the relationship and work develop.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written reflection if that suits them better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
