Emily Wilks, BACP

Emily Wilks is an integrative psychotherapist trained in Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches. She places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing and aims to build a collaborative, trusting connection that supports exploration and growth. She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which identifies her professional affiliation within the UK.

Emily works with people facing a range of concerns, including low self-esteem, anxiety and stress, and relationship difficulties that affect overall wellbeing. She often helps clients uncover what they truly want and need and supports practical exploration of those goals. Her practice also includes work with childhood trauma, including experiences of emotional and physical neglect, and how such histories may influence present-day patterns and relationships.

Sessions are carried out at a pace that suits each person, combining attention to present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours with reflection on past relationships and their ongoing impacts. Emily adopts a compassionate yet direct style, holding both strengths and challenges in view while encouraging deeper self-awareness and a more nourishing relationship with the self.

Guided by care, honesty, and openness, she accompanies people through difficult and confronting moments as well as the joyful ones, believing that both are important parts of change and healing. Her approach is grounded in curiosity and respect, aiming to help people find greater balance and alignment with what matters to them.
