About Amie
Amie Coates offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she works with each person at their own pace.
Amie has 17 years of experience working across independent practice, education settings and with charitable organisations. She has helped people cope with trauma and abuse, relationship breakdown, caregiver strain and long-term health challenges.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, body image and eating-related struggles. In sessions Amie adapts her approach to what the person needs. She draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise the person's voice.
She also uses cognitive behavioural strategies to help spot and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Conversations are practical and focused on goals that matter to the person. That might include building confidence, managing panic, easing grief or handling money-related stress.
Amie pays attention to the small steps that make daily life feel easier. People can expect straightforward explanations and a plan agreed together. She values sensitivity, respect and the autonomy of each person she meets.
If someone is ready to begin, Amie helps them take the next step toward better day-to-day coping.

Approaches Amie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach is often used for worry, panic, and mood difficulties.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and reshape strong emotional patterns in relationships and within themselves. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone wants clearer ways to process loss and attachment issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and make decisions together based on the person's situation, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change as things evolve in therapy.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs.
