About Amie
Amie Coates is a counsellor with 17 years of experience who supports people facing depression, stress and anxiety. She aims to make the first step easier. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she works with each person as an individual.
She has worked across independent practice, schools, further education and with charities. That variety has shaped how she meets people where they are. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Amie uses a blend of methods including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused work. She tailors conversations and activities to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. That can mean practical steps one week and deeper emotional work the next.
Common concerns she helps address include trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and family difficulties. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and relationship separation. Wherever possible, she helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier.
Her clinical title includes BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. The emphasis is on a collaborative working relationship and on practical, achievable goals.

Approaches Amie lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems. Sessions often include practical exercises, short homework tasks and clear steps to try between meetings. This can be helpful for depression, anxiety and stress when small changes add up.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people connect with and understand strong emotions. The work gently explores how emotions affect relationships with oneself and others and aims to build new ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will choose approaches that suit your needs. The plan can change as you progress and will be agreed collaboratively.
Online sessions provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the move. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions or use brief written check-ins when that format fits their routine. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, family and travel.
