Emily Groves, BACP

Emily Groves is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also helps those coping with low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and career or parenting concerns. Her work includes people from LGBT communities and those dealing with trauma, abuse or compassion fatigue.

Emily keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful thoughts and confusing feelings. Her style is collaborative and practical, with a focus on what clients want to change in their day-to-day lives.

With three years of professional experience, Emily draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the process. She will listen for patterns such as attachment or abandonment worries and help clients spot where those patterns affect relationships and self-image. She also supports people facing complex issues like domestic violence, bereavement, illness and caregiving stress.

Sessions often concentrate on small, manageable steps so clients can test changes between meetings. Emily works with communication and coping strategies, and helps people plan for life transitions like separation, blended family challenges or job changes. Her approach is steady and practical rather than rushed.

Emily is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP on her profile. Sessions and schedules are arranged through the site’s booking process, and she offers help in English only.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online counselling

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with common problems like anxiety, depression and relationship worries. For example, she may use practical tools that teach how thoughts influence mood and behaviour, helping clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She can also work on improving communication and attachment patterns by practising clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Emily discusses options with each person and adapts techniques to suit their goals, pace and comfort. Together they will review what is helping and shift approach if something feels unhelpful or slow to work.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and let people join from a familiar setting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that fits a busy day, or reduce the need to be on camera if someone prefers audio-only contact. Confirm current session choices on the booking page so you know what will be offered.
