Emily Wilks

I am currently available for video or telephone sessions.

I offer a limited number of reduced fees to account for individual circumstances. 

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist trained in person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. My approach is relational, meaning I believe that it is the quality of our relationship with ourselves and others that impacts our mental and physical wellbeing. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is where the healing happens. I like to work in a very warm and collaborative way with my clients, where safety and trust is paramount. To me, therapy is a confidential space where we can be human together. We will acknowledge and accept all of your parts, from the wonderful to the painful, with kindness and curiosity.

I am committed to understanding the full scope of your experiences and challenges, at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I will offer you the opportunity to dive into your present context and environment through a holistic lens, exploring your current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I will also offer you the space to consider how past relationships may be impacting your current ones, which will include an exploration of your intergenerational and transgenerational history. My hopes and aims are to assist my clients' in cultivating healthier relationships with themselves and others, which in turn will enhance their quality of life.

With these principles in mind, my aim is to develop a therapeutic relationship founded on care, honesty, and openness. With real honesty comes challenge. I believe that true and enduring change arises in those confronting moments. My approach to this process can often be direct, but is always free of judgment and full of support and empathy. My intention is to walk alongside my clients towards more self-acceptance, empowerment and resilience. Finding moments of creativity and joy whilst navigating the paradoxical complexities of life is incredibly important to me, demonstrating humility and patience throughout. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation where you can ask any questions and see if we are a good fit. Please send me an enquiry so we can organise a suitable time.

After the consulation, I offer weekly sessions that are 50 minutes long via video call or telephone.
