About Emily

Emily Groves is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Emily also helps with grief, self‑esteem, motivation and confidence concerns. Her approach is warm and non‑judgemental, aiming to make it easier to talk about painful thoughts and feelings.

Emily creates space for people to describe what is worrying them. She listens and asks questions that help make patterns clearer. Together with each person she explores practical steps they can try between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.

Her work also covers issues such as parenting strain, intimacy concerns, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue. Emily is available to support people affected by trauma and abuse, and those coping with natural or human‑caused disaster. She is familiar with challenges tied to ADHD, attachment and abandonment, and long‑term health worries like cancer.

Sessions concentrate on what a person wants to change and on small, manageable shifts. Emily focuses on building skills people can use day to day, such as managing overwhelming emotions and improving communication. She describes therapy as a partnership where clients set the pace and goals.

Emily is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and provides a straightforward, practical style of counselling for people looking for support during difficult life changes.

How therapeutic approaches can help online

Emily uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques to help people understand feelings and try new ways of coping. One approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours so day to day life feels less overwhelming; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach emphasises building emotional awareness and practical skills for managing reactions, which can help with anger, relationship issues and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together they will decide what methods to try. This keeps the process collaborative and responsive as things change.

If you are thinking about online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check‑ins when helpful. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Ask about the current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire to find the best practical fit.
