About Emily
Emily Whalley is a counsellor who works with people feeling stuck in self-doubt, anxiety or shame. She uses Jungian ideas alongside client-centred and attachment-based ways of working to help people reconnect with themselves and others. Emily holds a BACP accreditation and practises with an emphasis on warmth and understanding.
She helps people carry less of their past into today. That can mean looking at old patterns, family of origin issues, or feelings that come from attachment wounds.
Background and approach
She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns and intimacy-related struggles. Emily also works with practical life challenges such as career uncertainty, coping with change, and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. Her focus includes concerns like abandonment, codependency, commitment worries and communication problems.
She pays attention to how these issues show up day to day. Her sessions are conversational and exploratory. She listens for recurring themes, dreams and emotional patterns, and helps people name what they are living with.
Work may include reflective conversation, mindfulness practices and looking at how early relationships shape current reactions. Clients can expect calm, steady support aimed at restoring a sense of agency and connection. Emily has three years of experience and has worked with people in the United Kingdom and internationally online.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Online support
How Jungian and Attachment Ideas Work Online
Jungian therapy looks at recurring themes, symbols and feelings to help people understand deeper patterns in their life and identity. It can help when someone feels disconnected, empty or unsure who they are, by encouraging reflection and meaning-making.Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance, and learn different ways to connect and trust in relationships and intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may blend methods over time to suit how someone responds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues in conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat provide shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or living abroad while keeping sessions consistent and accessible.
