About Emily

Emily Wilks, BACP, helps people dealing with anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She supports those facing low self-esteem, life changes, and the effects of past trauma and abuse. Emily aims to build a warm, respectful connection so people can talk openly and begin to feel more grounded.

Emily sees each person as a whole individual. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on how past relationships may still affect daily life.

Background and approach

She uses a direct style that stays gentle and curious, inviting honest conversation about emotions and behaviour. Work often starts with practical steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Emily also spends time exploring attachment patterns, abandonment worries and communication problems that can make relationships hard.

Together with the person she looks for small, realistic changes that fit everyday life. Emily pays attention to painful experiences such as sexual assault and childhood neglect, helping people understand how those events influence current feelings and choices. She encourages self-compassion and builds on strengths to support recovery and clearer decision making.

Appointments aim to move at a pace that feels right for the individual. Emily offers straightforward reflections and questions that prompt new awareness. Her hope is to help people feel more connected to themselves and more able to make choices that reflect their values.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Emily lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online therapy sessions

Emily draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and personal history. One approach emphasises the therapeutic relationship itself as a tool for change, helping people feel heard and understood so they can reflect on difficult feelings and patterns. This can be useful for attachment concerns, abandonment fears and communication problems.

Another strand concentrates on exploring past experiences and how they shape current thoughts and behaviour. By gently reflecting on earlier relationships and painful events, people often gain clearer insight into why they react in certain ways and can start trying different choices in daily life. This is often helpful for trauma, neglect and issues around self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and share longer conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
