About Emily

Emily Smith is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She has six years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through painful experiences at their own pace.

Background and approach

Emily specialises in working with survivors of sexual violence and also helps people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns and dissociation. She listens for strengths and practical options, and works with each person’s goals rather than imposing a fixed plan. Sessions focus on what feels useful and manageable in day-to-day life.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages people to notice small changes and build confidence over time. Conversations are grounded in what matters to the client, whether that is managing mood, reducing anxiety or making sense of past harm.

Emily offers a range of session formats to suit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Practical arrangements such as scheduling and subscription details are handled through the site’s booking process. Those ready to begin are invited to start by completing the short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on making sense of painful experiences and building coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify triggers and learn practical tools to manage anxiety and low mood, such as breathing strategies, paced activity and simple thought-aware exercises. This kind of work is useful for stress, anxiety and mood difficulties.

Another strand of her work helps people process traumatic memories and the everyday impacts of abuse. This involves careful, paced conversations about past events, grounding techniques for dissociation, and work on restoring a sense of personal safety and self-worth. That approach is often helpful for post-traumatic stress, shame and rebuilding confidence after sexual assault or other harm.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that match the person’s needs. Sessions are reviewed regularly so the plan can change as progress happens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging give shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to work around work, family and travel commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
