About Amie
Amie Coates is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with grief or low mood, and coping with the effects of past trauma and abuse. Amie is calm and practical in session and focuses on helping people take small, manageable steps forward.
In sessions she listens closely and adapts to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand difficult feelings and improve how they relate to themselves. She also uses Client-Centred approaches to make space for a person’s own pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Amie has worked across independent practice, schools, further education settings and charities.
That variety shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style that suits straightforward problem solving as well as deeper emotional work. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while encouraging independence and choice. People can expect a practical focus in sessions.
Amie helps set clear goals, experiments with new ways of coping, and reviews progress together. She supports conversations about identity, relationships, money stress, caregiving strain, body image and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Amie uses a mix of talking, reflective exercises and simple strategies to help people notice change and build easier habits.

Online support
How Amie’s approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with strong feelings to change how they respond to emotions and relate to others. It can be useful for people who feel stuck in painful emotional patterns and want clearer understanding of their reactions.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the pace and direction of change. It supports people who need acceptance and space to discover their own solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tries practical experiments to shift unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit you. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and reviewed as progress is tracked.
Online sessions can be more flexible around work and caring commitments. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and chat or text formats suit quick check-ins or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even with a busy schedule.
