About Emily
Emily Whalley is a counsellor with BACP registration and three years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Emily also supports people dealing with grief, career change, addictions and compassion fatigue.
She often helps people who feel uprooted or disconnected, including expats and migrants. She works with those carrying the effects of childhood or relational trauma and with people managing attachment or abandonment concerns. Practical problems such as communication and commitment issues are also part of her caseload.
Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking and client-centred ways of working. She uses mindfulness alongside psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to help people notice patterns and feelings without rushing to change them. Sessions focus on making sense of current struggles and on improving how someone relates to themselves and others.
Emily aims to make therapy straightforward and conversational. People can expect to talk through past experiences, notice repeated patterns, and try different ways of relating and coping. She describes the therapeutic relationship as central to the work and pays attention to how people feel in the room.
She has worked in therapeutic organisations and online with clients internationally. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online, this helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, and it can be useful for relationship and family concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own pace and choices. In an online setting this often means sessions that follow what feels most pressing for the client and that centre their experience.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the approach to goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on feelings, patterns from the past, or practical coping strategies.
The biography states she has worked online with international clients but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep therapy accessible while focusing on the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face sessions.
