How Amie uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel understood. This approach can help when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches simple techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new small behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on recognising and naming emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck. It can be useful for working through painful reactions and improving emotional clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce time spent travelling and mean people do not need to be on camera if they prefer a phone conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their approach to fit each person's day-to-day life.
