About Emily
Counsellor and member of BACP and NCPS, Emily E Abonie has five years of professional experience offering counselling in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation. Emily also works with clients on confidence and life changes including pregnancy and childbirth and separation matters.
Emily uses a conversational style. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that feel manageable. She aims to make time for feelings and the facts behind them, and to help people notice patterns that get in the way of change.
Her practice draws on several approaches. Client-Centred Therapy shapes the way she listens and responds. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when relationship and intimacy issues are central. Mindfulness techniques are used to manage stress and anxiety in the moment.
Emily also brings in elements of psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused work when useful. This can help people understand long-standing patterns and try small, measurable changes between sessions. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than prescriptive.
She speaks English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they work
Client-Centred Therapy places attention on the person's own views and goals. The counsellor listens with minimal direction and helps clarify what matters most. This approach can help when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through strong feelings.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and intimacy. It looks at patterns in how people respond to each other and helps them try new ways of connecting. EFT can be helpful for relationship distress and for worries about closeness or boundaries.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting overwhelmed. Small exercises can reduce stress, ease anxiety and improve concentration between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made together and may change as progress is reviewed.
