Emily Wilks, BACP

Emily Wilks is an integrative psychotherapist in the United Kingdom who blends person-centred and psychodynamic training to support people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. With three years of clinical experience and membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she draws on established therapeutic methods while adapting her work to each person's needs.

Emily places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her practice, believing that a compassionate, honest connection provides the foundation for exploration and change. She works with clients who feel stuck, struggle with low self-esteem or confidence, or want to bring more authenticity into their lives. Many seek her support for anxiety and stress, communication and attachment difficulties, or the impact of past emotional and physical neglect.

Using a collaborative approach, Emily invites clients to examine present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours while also reflecting on past relationships that may shape current patterns. She frames each person as a whole individual, attending to strengths and challenges with curiosity and care. Her direct style is balanced with empathy, and she aims to move at a pace that feels right for each client.

Emily supports people through difficult and confronting moments as well as times of growth and joy, helping them develop greater self-awareness and a more nurturing relationship with themselves. She offers practical, compassionate guidance toward a life that better reflects what clients truly want.

Integrative Approaches and Online Access

Emily combines person-centred work with psychodynamic ideas to guide online therapy in a way that is accessible and grounded. Person-centred therapy emphasises empathy, active listening, and acceptance - it supports people who want to build confidence, clarify values, or feel more authentic in their relationships. Psychodynamic approaches explore how past relationships and early experiences can shape current patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating, which can be helpful for issues like attachment concerns, trauma, and recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Emily does with each client. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and together they will adapt methods and pacing to suit individual needs and comfort.

Online therapy with Emily is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and consistent access to support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to connect from different locations within the United Kingdom, and to choose the format that best matches how someone prefers to communicate and reflect.
