About Emily
Emily Smith is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She has six years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Emily aims to meet clients where they are and to help them find practical ways forward.
She works with people who have survived sexual violence and with others facing a wide range of challenges.
Background and approach
That includes concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, dissociation and self-harm. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation and difficulties with life purpose. Emily’s approach starts from the view that each person knows their story best.
She listens first to understand what matters to the individual. Then she offers ideas and ways to try out, so progress can happen at a comfortable pace. Sessions focus on building on personal strengths and on practical steps that reduce distress day to day.
Conversations tend to be straightforward and grounded, with attention to safety and to pacing when trauma is part of someone’s history. She encourages a collaborative relationship where goals are agreed together. That may include short-term coping skills or longer conversations about patterns such as attachment or mood problems.
Emily explains options plainly and helps people choose what to try next.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, personal history and what feels most useful. Together they will try different strategies and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, sharing progress between appointments, or for people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
