Amie Carson, BACP

Amie Carson is a UK-based therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), bringing five years of client-facing experience to her practice. She works with people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief, life transitions and work-related pressures, and has a particular interest in supporting those facing anxiety, loss, disability and fertility-related concerns. She completed a foundation course with the British Infertility Counselling Association to deepen her understanding of fertility and related emotional needs.

Trained as an integrative counsellor, Amie draws on a range of therapeutic models to match the work to each person. Her practice includes cognitive behavioural techniques, person-centred listening, attachment-informed work, solution-focused strategies and psychodynamic ideas, allowing her to tailor sessions to individual challenges. She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that existing strengths can become resources for change. Seeking support is a courageous step, and Amie aims to provide steady, empowering guidance as clients explore what matters to them and work toward their goals.

Amie offers an approachable, respectful style that prioritises collaboration and practical progress. Her background and varied training support work with issues such as relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, depression, grief and the emotional aspects of chronic illness, caregiving, adoption and family transitions.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Amie draws on a few complementary approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that form in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current partnerships, abandonment concerns and adoption or foster care issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a non-judgemental space where clients lead the conversation - this approach can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief and exploring life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress and shift mood patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and preferences, drawing on training commonly used by licensed professionals. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what actually supports change.

Online therapy with Amie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care during transitions, attend sessions from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
