Emily Wilks
Helping people regain stability and self-worth
About Emily
Emily Wilks works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She presents as warm and direct, aiming to build a trusting therapeutic connection where people can speak honestly and be heard. Emily's first priority is creating a steady space to help clients feel understood and clearer about what they want next.
Emily draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns in their feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now as well as how past relationships might be shaping current responses. She helps clients name painful experiences, manage intense emotions, and practise new ways of communicating and coping. Her work often includes exploring attachment, boundaries, and problems like codependency, jealousy, commitment worries, and difficulties with trust.
She also supports those affected by sexual assault and childhood neglect, helping them make sense of how past events affect day-to-day life. The aim is to build greater self-acceptance and healthier relationships with others and with the self. Emily is straightforward in style while remaining compassionate.
She encourages curiosity about patterns and invites small practical steps between sessions. Therapy moves at a pace the client feels able to manage, with careful attention to safety and emotional readiness. Based in the United Kingdom, Emily has three years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers sessions in English using a mix of online formats to fit different needs.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. One approach focuses on attachment - it looks at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships and helps people build more reliable ways of relating. This approach can be useful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating the same relationship problems.Another strand emphasises exploring past experiences and emotional patterns to make sense of current distress. This helps when old hurts, neglect, or abuse are affecting day-to-day mood and self-worth. The work aims to increase self-awareness and to open up new choices in behaviour and feeling.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what fits best, based on their goals, needs, and preferences. They will check in regularly and adjust the focus if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
