About Emily Whalley
Emily Whalley supports people who feel stuck in self-doubt, anxiety, or shame, helping them reconnect with themselves and others. She acknowledges that life can bring a range of challenges - from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship struggles - and that carrying the weight of past experiences can affect self-worth and connection. Therapy with Emily is framed as a space for processing, healing, and rediscovering a stronger sense of self rather than a process of being fixed.
Emily is a UK-registered therapist who holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked in therapeutic organisations and online with clients from around the world, bringing warmth, compassion, and close listening to her practice. Her experience includes supporting expats, migrants, and digital nomads who feel uprooted or disconnected, and working with people facing self-doubt, people-pleasing, and low self-worth to help them reclaim confidence and their inner voice.
She also works with individuals navigating grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties, and offers support for people living with anxiety - including general, social, health-related, and existential anxiety - as well as those experiencing depression and low mood. Emily has experience with childhood and relational trauma, including survivors of sexual abuse, and she aims to help clients find clarity and emotional resilience.
Her approach is integrative, blending existential perspectives, psychodynamic thinking, parts work, and somatic techniques to help people make sense of their experiences and discover deeper meaning. She helps clients recognise how past patterns shape current emotions and relationships, develop self-compassion, and reduce shame and self-criticism. Central to her work is the therapeutic relationship, which she cultivates as a non-judgmental space where people can feel seen and understood.
If this approach resonates, she would be honoured to support a person on their journey, working at a pace and in ways that suit them.
