About Amie
Amie Mottram is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has three years of professional experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, and related life challenges. She also focuses on parenting concerns, family matters, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She treats difficult transitions and day-to-day pressures in clear, practical terms. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes might help. Amie listens to each person’s story and works from the strengths they already have. She encourages straightforward steps to manage symptoms and rebuild routine where it has been lost.
Her work includes support for people facing chronic illness or cancer, and those coping after domestic violence or other trauma. She can help with anger, addictions such as smoking or vaping, panic attacks, phobias and social anxiety. Amie also addresses complex feelings like guilt, shame and isolation.
The approach is collaborative and focused on problem solving rather than labels. Amie will discuss options and plan sessions around what the client needs to tackle first. Practical strategies and clearer thinking are central to her sessions.
To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Amie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach is brief problem-focused work that helps identify current patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then tests small changes to reduce those patterns. This is helpful for day-to-day anxiety, panic attacks and low mood.Another approach involves coping-focused strategies for grief, chronic illness and long-term conditions. These methods help people manage symptoms, plan routine adjustments, and find ways to carry on with daily responsibilities while processing strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what the client needs, try different ways of working, and agree a plan that matches goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as things change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets people use sessions from different everyday locations and can be adapted for quieter conversations, lower bandwidth phone calls, or camera-on video depending on what suits the client.
