About Emily
Emily Groves is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and issues around self esteem. She also supports those coping with grief, loss and motivation, and people exploring matters related to LGBT identity.
Emily aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She emphasises clear listening and gentle challenge to help people find what works for them. In her practice Emily works collaboratively, encouraging clients to set small, achievable goals. She offers steadiness for people facing major life changes, parenting strain, career crossroads or compassion fatigue.
She also gives attention to trauma, abuse and intimacy-related issues when they come up. Emily holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom. Her work to date has included supporting people with ADHD-related difficulties, attachment and abandonment concerns, and body image struggles.
People often come for help with communication problems, commitment worries, divorce and separation, or the stress of blended family dynamics. Emily listens for patterns that keep people feeling stuck, and then works with them to try new ways of coping and relating. She offers sessions in English and does not currently take international clients.
If someone is unsure whether therapy can help, Emily invites them to take a first step and discuss what they want to change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Emily draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present difficulties and practical change. One common approach she uses helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding to worry and low mood; this can be useful for stress, anxiety and depression. Another accessible method concentrates on improving communication and patterns in close relationships, helping people address intimacy, commitment and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients choose which techniques to try based on their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. She adapts methods as the work progresses so it fits each person's situation.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter phone-style conversation to manage a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work helps maintain continuity of care when life gets busy, while still focusing on the practical steps people want to take.
