Amie Coates
Supportive counsellor for anxiety and life transitions
About Amie
Amie Coates offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or low self‑esteem. She is a counsellor with 17 years of experience who helps people work through trauma, grief and relationship strain. Her approach aims to make difficult problems easier to talk about and manage.
Amie draws on a mix of established methods to shape conversations that suit each person. She uses Client‑Centred ideas to follow what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She also applies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thought and behaviour patterns, and Emotionally‑Focused Therapy to look at strong feelings and attachment concerns. In sessions she listens without judgement and treats people with respect and kindness. She helps people set small, realistic goals and practises practical skills together.
The work can include talking, reflecting on patterns, and trying short exercises to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Amie has worked in independent practice, schools, further education and with charities. That range of settings has shaped a flexible, down‑to‑earth way of working.
She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. People who want a collaborative and practical style often find her helpful. She supports a wide range of life issues including adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, eating difficulties, and financial or career crossroads.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Approaches you can use online
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance and gentle guidance so the person can explore feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build self‑trust.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy pays attention to strong emotions and attachment needs, helping people identify patterns in relationships and create more helpful ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted based on what works best for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for in‑depth conversations and exercises that use facial expression. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are handy for brief check‑ins, daily support or sessions that fit around a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and keep progress moving without long journeys.
