Emily E Abonie, BACP, NCPS

Emily E Abonie supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation. Emily aims to make the first step feel easier by offering steady support and a non-judgemental place to talk.

She uses a mix of approaches in sessions, including client-centred work and emotionally-focused methods. That means conversations centre on the person's experience and feelings, and the therapist helps identify patterns that get in the way of connection and wellbeing. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and calm their nervous systems.

Emily has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with practical goals alongside exploring deeper causes of distress. Sessions often focus on everyday problems such as communication difficulties, control issues, and coping with life transitions.

People bring a wide range of concerns, including body image, avoidance, caregiver stress, isolation, and challenges linked to pregnancy or separation. Emily helps clients identify small changes that can reduce pressure and improve day-to-day functioning.

The work is collaborative and paced to the individual. Emily encourages reflection, practical steps, and building skills for longer-term self-care and self-love. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, with next steps arranged through the site's Start Therapy process.

How Emily's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem or relationship strain. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to patterns in emotional responses and how these affect connections with others; it can help people understand and change repetitive reactions that cause distress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and manage anxiety. These exercises are brief and practical, and can be practised between sessions to support coping with stress and mood changes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. This makes the process collaborative and flexible, with methods adjusted as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to connect from different locations. If you want to work together online, confirm the available session formats before booking so arrangements match your needs. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, regular weekly work and practicing skills between meetings.
