About Emily

Emily Groves works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem and depression, among other difficulties. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on creating an environment where clients can talk openly about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are practical and conversational, aiming to identify patterns that contribute to distress and to find manageable ways to change them. Emily encourages small, realistic steps rather than large immediate shifts.

Her work includes supporting people dealing with parenting pressures, career strain, compassion fatigue, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, issues around identity such as LGBT matters, and the practical impacts of living with ADHD or autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Emily has additional experience with family and blended family issues, abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image and codependency, and separation after divorce. She can help people cope with serious illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters.

Her sessions aim to help clients improve communication, manage anger and control issues, and work on commitment and relationship difficulties. People who want a straightforward approach that focuses on clear goals and everyday coping strategies may find her style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Emily uses evidence-based techniques that focus on present problems and practical change. One common approach helps people recognise unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of responding; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people improve communication and feel more secure in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. That way the work is guided by what helps most for your concerns and day-to-day life.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to have regular short check-ins when needed. They can also reduce travel and allow people to meet with a therapist from their local area without relocating.
