Emily Wilks helps people who are feeling anxious, stressed, or stuck in their relationships. She supports those dealing with low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and big life changes. Emily is named as a BACP counsellor and works from the United Kingdom.

She offers short, clear sessions that focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Emily uses a person-focused, exploratory style that aims to build a trusting relationship.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns from past relationships that might still shape current choices. Conversations look at feelings, behaviours and what someone truly wants from life. The tone is direct but kind, and work moves at a pace the client chooses.

Sessions often begin with simple goals and practical steps. Emily encourages people to notice how old experiences influence present reactions. She supports people through issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and problems with commitment or communication.

She also helps those coping with separation, sexual assault and questions about sexuality. Her practice pays attention to everyday struggles like guilt, shame, jealousy and men's issues. Emily aims to help people build greater self-love and steadier emotional ground.

The aim is clearer thinking and more choice in how to respond to stressors. With three years' experience, Emily balances openness with straightforward feedback. Work together is collaborative: people set the focus and Emily offers ideas, reflections and practical ways forward.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats.

Approaches, collaboration and online convenience

Emily draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ways of working to help people understand themselves and change patterns. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance to help someone feel heard and seen; it is useful for building self-esteem and deciding what matters most. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and reactions; it can help uncover why certain relationship patterns repeat.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through options and adjust methods based on the person's goals, pace and preferences. This collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and avoid needing video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when written communication feels easier. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to fit therapy around work and family life.
