Emily Whalley , BACP

Emily Whalley is a UK-registered therapist who offers compassionate, person-focused support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. She brings warmth and deep understanding to her work, helping clients make sense of past experiences, rebuild self-worth, and reconnect with what matters most. Emily holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Her background includes work in therapeutic organisations and online support for people across the world, including expats, migrants, and digital nomads who may feel uprooted or disconnected. She has experience supporting people with grief, life transitions, social and health-related anxiety, low mood, and those recovering from childhood or relational trauma, including survivors of sexual abuse. Emily also works with issues such as intimacy struggles, codependency, commitment concerns, and family of origin challenges.

Emily uses an integrative approach that draws on existential thinking, psychodynamic ideas, parts work, and somatic techniques to help clients explore meaning, identify patterns, and develop self-compassion. Her practice emphasises the therapeutic relationship as a space where clients can be seen without judgment and work at their own pace. She aims to support people in building resilience, reducing shame, and finding more grounded ways of living.
