Amie Carson, BACP

Amie Carson is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or loss. She works with individuals facing relationship strains, self-esteem worries and the emotional impact of illness or major life changes. Amie presents in a calm, straightforward way and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Amie is a BACP member, which means she follows the professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of experience working with people who have anxiety, grief and life transitions, and she has a particular interest in infertility, disability and chronic illness. She also supports people navigating abandonment, attachment questions and parenting-related strains.

Her practice is integrative. That means she draws on several approaches to match the person’s needs. Techniques may include elements of cognitive work, mindfulness and solution-focused conversation alongside attachment-informed discussion. The focus is on what helps in day-to-day life rather than theory.

Amie has completed a foundation course with the British Infertility Counselling Association and brings that background to fertility-related conversations. She aims to create a supportive space where clients can identify strengths and set realistic steps towards change.

Sessions are led by the client’s goals and progress is checked regularly. Amie encourages people to try small, practical strategies and to review what works so the therapy stays relevant to each person’s situation.

How Amie’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and bonds. Online sessions may focus on noticing patterns in relationships and trying new ways of connecting that feel manageable.

Client-centred counselling puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. This approach uses open listening and reflection so clients can make sense of feelings and decide on their next steps.

Cognitive behavioural work helps spot unhelpful thinking and testing small changes. It is practical and often includes short exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then choose methods together and review progress as they go.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, cut out travel time and use short check-ins when needed. It also allows practical activities, like behavioural experiments and mindfulness practices, to be discussed and adapted to each person’s everyday routine.
