About Amie

Amie Carson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 5 years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes to work, relationships or health. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression.

Amie uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at patterns from early relationships, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses client-centred and solution-focused methods to help people identify practical next steps and build on their strengths.

She has experience supporting people facing infertility concerns and has completed a foundation course with the British Infertility Counselling Association. Her background also includes work around abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, eating and body image issues, and first responder stress.

In sessions Amie treats the client as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to set goals. Conversations typically focus on what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and small changes that can reduce pressure and increase clarity. She blends reflective listening with practical exercises drawn from CBT and solution-focused work.

Sessions are conducted in English and are oriented to helping people find direction after disruption. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

How Amie's approaches work in online sessions

Amie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns that shape how people respond under stress. This approach helps when past connections repeat in present relationships or make decision-making feel uncertain.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small practical changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear, manageable steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amie will discuss options during early meetings and agree a way of working that reflects the client’s goals, circumstances and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively rather than assumed at the start.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who want to avoid being on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt practical exercises so they work well at a distance and to keep the focus on steady, achievable progress.
