About Amie
Counsellor, BACP and NCPS registered, with three years' professional experience helping people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and depression.
Amie Mottram works in a straightforward, conversational way. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps to manage difficulties.
Her work often starts with immediate concerns such as panic, low mood or anxiety. She also supports people facing big life changes, problems with intimacy, and the impact of chronic illness or cancer. Addictions, anger and difficulties with self-esteem are other areas she regularly covers.
Amie talks through relationships and family concerns with individuals. She offers space to process grief, loss and experiences of domestic violence. She also addresses isolation, guilt and shame in everyday life.
With three years of practice she aims for clear discussion and realistic goals. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) is shown as BACP and NCPS. Sessions take a practical tone and look at steps people can try between meetings.
To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counsellor encourages clients to set the pace and directs work according to what matters most to them.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Amie describes her work as practical counselling that focuses on present-day problems and steps people can try between sessions. Evidence-based techniques commonly used in this style include brief cognitive strategies that look at unhelpful thinking patterns and behavioural approaches that encourage small changes in routine and activity. Cognitive approaches help with anxiety and panic by identifying thought patterns, while behavioural techniques can support mood, motivation and recovery from avoidance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote counselling can save travel time, make it easier to fit appointments into a working day and allow shorter check-ins by phone or video when that suits. It also means people can pick a time and setting that helps them take part consistently.
