About me

Online counselling for adults and couples across the UK

Do you look like you're coping while quietly carrying everything alone?

You might be the person everyone relies on — the parent, partner, carer or professional who keeps going while feeling exhausted underneath. Perhaps you're dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, bereavement, low self-esteem or relationship difficulties, and you're finding it harder to manage everything on your own.

I'm Amie, a BACP Registered Person-Centred Counsellor, offering online counselling for adults and couples across the UK.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, bereavement, low self-esteem, low confidence, relationship difficulties, family issues and the emotional impact of caring responsibilities. I also have a particular interest in supporting people navigating neurodiversity and the pressures of everyday life.

Individual counselling

Sometimes you can keep going for a long time before realising just how much you're carrying.

Counselling can give you somewhere to talk openly about what's happening without having to look after everyone else's needs at the same time. We can explore what you're experiencing, make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings, and look at what might help you move forward.

My approach is person-centred, humanistic and integrative, drawing on different therapeutic approaches according to what feels appropriate for you.

Couples counselling

Relationships can become difficult when the same arguments keep happening, communication breaks down, or one or both partners feel unheard or misunderstood.

I offer online couples counselling for partners who want to understand what's happening within their relationship, improve communication and work through difficulties together.

My aim isn't to take sides. It's to create a space where both people can be heard and where you can begin to understand each other differently.

You don't have to wait until things become unbearable

You don't need to have everything figured out before starting counselling.

Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety or burnout, working through grief, feeling overwhelmed by caring responsibilities, experiencing relationship difficulties, or simply know that something needs to change, we can start with where you are now.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, giving us an opportunity to talk briefly about what you're looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.

All sessions are online and available across the UK.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

A little more about working with me

All sessions are online, allowing you to access counselling from a familiar and private environment.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call before you decide whether to book. This gives us a chance to briefly talk about what you're looking for and ask any questions about counselling.

I aim to make counselling accessible, straightforward and focused on what matters to you. There is no expectation that you arrive knowing exactly what you need to talk about — we can start from wherever you are.

Alongside my counselling practice, I also create mental health and wellbeing resources through Future Aims Therapy.

If you are looking for urgent or crisis mental health support, please contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option. In an emergency, call 999 or attend A&E. Samaritans can be contacted free on 116 123.
