About Emily

Emily Groves is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and anger. Sessions are delivered in English and focus on practical ways to manage everyday difficulties.

Emily helps people talk through what is happening in their life and identify small, useful changes. She aims for clear conversation about feelings and behaviour, and for realistic steps clients can try between sessions. She lists additional focus areas such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, intimacy-related issues, and career stress.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Emily explains options and listens to what matters most to each person. She encourages people to notice patterns that keep unhelpful reactions going and to practise alternatives in day-to-day situations.

Emily has worked with people facing caregiving strain, blended family issues, and the emotional effects of cancer and bereavement. She also responds to problems linked to control, codependency, communication and feelings of emptiness. Her work includes support for clients who identify as LGBT.

Practical matters are handled plainly: sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the online options button.

Emily keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change. She aims for clear goals and straightforward tools rather than vague promises. The emphasis is on steady, achievable progress that fits daily life.

Using evidence-based approaches in online sessions

Emily describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. Cognitive approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and help people try different ways of responding to stress, anger or anxiety. Behavioural techniques focus on small, structured changes in routine and reactions that can reduce unhelpful patterns and increase constructive coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will discuss options with each client and agree together which methods to try, based on goals and day-to-day realities. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain steady momentum between face-to-face opportunities by keeping therapy accessible within everyday life.
