Emily E Abonie

Emily E Abonie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship concerns. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem and motivation. Emily aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings.

She uses a straightforward, conversational approach in sessions. Emily works with clients to identify what matters most to them, and then plans practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Sessions focus on building confidence, improving communication and finding ways to cope with loss or change.

Her practice draws on several established methods. Client-Centred Therapy guides how she listens and reflects, helping people feel heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce stress.

Emily also brings in solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals. Elements of psychodynamic thinking help explore how past experiences shape current feelings. Across these approaches she aims to keep work tangible and relevant to each person’s situation.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of professional experience. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches to emotional and relationship work online

Emily draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make sure people feel heard and respected; this involves reflecting back what someone says and following the pace the person sets. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify unhelpful interaction patterns and support changes in how people respond to strong emotions. Mindfulness Therapy appears in her work as short practices and attention exercises to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily will talk with each person about their goals and experiences, and together they decide which methods to try first. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
