Empathy is a strange skill. To oversimplify, empathy is everything that falls under the heading of 'psychological health', which is why it's found among the healing skills. If you want to calm a distressed, fleeing girl, you use empathy. If a girl you kidnapped ran away and you try to guess where she ran to, you use empathy to set yourself in her place. Furthermore, empathy is your general sense for people. It's also used to try and figure out if you're being lied to.
Bonuses would come, to stay with the small girl example, if your character has once been in the same situation or if you appear to be big, strong and friendly and the girl will therefore trust in you to keep her safe.
