About Emily
Emily Groves is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and codependency-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, ADHD and the fallout from attachment and abandonment issues.
In sessions she encourages clear, direct conversation about what matters to the client. She asks practical questions and helps people notice how their habits and reactions affect daily life. The aim is to make small, manageable changes rather than promise quick fixes.
Emily draws on evidence-informed therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns in relationships and emotion. She helps clients build boundaries, practise saying no, and recognise when they are putting other people first at their own expense. Work can include looking at how past losses or attachment experiences influence current behaviour.
She pays attention to concrete skills such as communication and problem-solving. Counselling can include exploring anger, intimacy worries and difficulties around commitment. Emily also supports people managing compassion fatigue and caregiver stress by identifying realistic limits and pacing.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Emily invites clients to set clear aims and reviews progress together. People who are considering counselling are encouraged to read the profile and confirm practical session options before booking.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Emily works from evidence-informed techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people spot and alter relationship patterns that keep them prioritising others over themselves; it focuses on recognising triggers and practising alternative responses in everyday situations. Another approach focuses on coping skills for anxiety and low mood, teaching straightforward strategies for managing stress, grounding in the moment and reducing overwhelm.Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide which approaches to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefits of working online are fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to schedule a regular check-in, do a brief mid-day session, or keep continuity of care when routines change.
