About Emily

Emily Groves is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief and struggles with self-esteem. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and find practical ways to move forward.

Emily works in a calm, supportive manner and focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with time spent on understanding patterns and finding small steps that feel doable. She supports people experiencing compassion fatigue, parenting stress, career challenges, anger and issues around intimacy.

Her additional interests include attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, codependency and communication problems. She also offers help for those coping with divorce, blended family issues, cancer-related distress, caregiver strain, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Emily holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each client’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and focus on building skills as well as exploring feelings.

People who choose to work with Emily can expect gentle challenge alongside practical tools. She encourages clients to set achievable goals and to notice gradual change. The aim is to help people feel more confident, connected and able to cope with life’s changes.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person. One common approach is structured talking therapy that helps identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and then practises alternative ways of responding. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Another useful method focuses on relationships and attachment. It helps people understand how early patterns affect current relationships and intimacy, and supports work on communication and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with clients and choose techniques together based on goals, needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may mix practical skill-building with reflective conversation.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to arrange appointments around family or work commitments and to continue therapy after relocating within the United Kingdom. As the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
