About Emily
Emily E Abonie helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems and grief. She supports people working on self-esteem, motivation and finding greater fulfilment. Emily is based in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience.
She provides sessions in English and accepts international clients. Emily keeps sessions simple and direct. She creates an open atmosphere where people can speak without fear of judgement.
Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical next steps.
How Emily works
She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. Her approach draws on client-centred and emotionally-focused ideas. That means the person is at the heart of the work and emotions are used to guide change.
She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage stress and set clear goals. Emily has worked with clients on a wide range of concerns beyond the core issues, including body image, communication problems, caregiver stress, control issues and life-purpose questions. She also supports people dealing with separation, guilt, loneliness and mood difficulties.
Sessions are adapted to the person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Practical details are handled online. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How Emily’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s lead, which helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns to improve connection with oneself and others, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues and relationship distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise emotional processing, mindful practices or short-term solution work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls suit deeper conversational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or shorter contacts. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caring commitments or travel.
