About Emily
Counsellor Emily Groves is a BACP member working in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Emily also supports those facing parenting strain, career worries, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns.
Emily offers straightforward, talk-based support. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. She encourages people to name feelings and describe problems in everyday terms so they become easier to work with.
Her approach is person-centred and collaborative. Emily listens to what matters most and helps people identify small, realistic changes. Conversations cover how thoughts, behaviours and relationships affect day-to-day life.
Emily is used to working with a wide range of issues that often overlap, such as attachment and abandonment worries, body image, blended-family challenges, and coping with illness or caring responsibilities. She also addresses trauma, domestic violence, and separation where people want to explore these topics.
Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Emily aims to make the process clear by agreeing goals and reviewing progress as therapy continues. To begin, she asks people to outline their main concern so a first session can focus on immediate priorities.
Evidence-based approaches and remote counselling
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens closely and reflects back what matters to the client, helping them spot patterns and priorities. Cognitive-style techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple exercises, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily will discuss options and try methods that suit the person's aims and preferences. The plan is agreed together and reviewed as progress is made so adjustments can be made if something does not fit.
Confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote counselling helps fit meetings into a busy week, makes short check-ins possible, or removes travel time. If a quieter check-in or a phone conversation is needed, explain that when booking so arrangements can focus on what works for everyday life.
