About Emily
Emily Whalley is a counsellor who blends attachment-based, client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people who are struggling with mood, relationships and life changes. She holds BACP registration and works online with clients across the United Kingdom and beyond. Her style is warm and curious, aimed at helping people feel more connected to themselves and others.
Emily spends time listening to each person's story before suggesting ways forward. She helps people notice how past relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
That can include difficulties with self-worth, anxiety or depression, and problems with intimacy and commitment. Practical skills are part of her work. Sessions may include grounding and mindfulness exercises, and space to reflect on values and choices.
She also uses reflective conversation to make sense of recurring patterns such as codependency or avoidance. She has experience supporting people through grief, career changes, addiction concerns and compassion fatigue. Emily also works with those affected by trauma, dissociation and family of origin issues, helping them rebuild a steadier sense of self.
Therapy with her is collaborative. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenges and pacing that suits their needs. Emily welcomes people who want to explore meaning, repair relationships or find steadier emotional ground.

Online support
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of every session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping them find their own solutions to issues such as low self-esteem or relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will review what helps and adapt the work as it progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
