Emily E AbonieBACP, NCPS

Emily E Abonie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems and grief. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, confidence and life changes, including pregnancy and childbirth related concerns. Emily holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings five years of professional experience to her work.

Emily aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She listens closely and works at the client’s pace, helping people name what matters most and decide on practical next steps. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, steady progress.

Her approach combines several ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the client’s experience central. Emotionally-Focused ideas help when relationships and connection feel difficult. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and mind in stressful moments.

Emily also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. She adapts tools to each person rather than using one fixed method, and she explains options in plain language.

People who choose Emily can expect practical conversation, gentle reflection and help making realistic changes. She encourages self-compassion and clear steps for coping with tough days and major transitions.

To begin, Emily asks people to think about their priorities and what they hope to get from counselling, so sessions can be shaped around those aims.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on your experience and what matters to you, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help you feel heard and understood. This approach can help when people are working through stress, low self-esteem or life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions in relationships and helps people understand attachment and connection patterns; it is useful when relationship or intimacy issues are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals, needs and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit you. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you learn more about what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel and keep appointments during life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that suits you better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like mindfulness exercises, emotion-focused conversations and solution-focused planning to an online setting to help you make steady progress.
