Codie Foster, BACP

Codie Foster is a friendly and approachable counsellor who aims to create a non-judgemental space where people feel heard, respected, and empowered on their counselling journey. She is a client-focused practitioner with three years of experience working across mental health, community, and private practice settings, bringing practical support for anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, grief, and trauma. Codie uses an integrative approach that combines play therapy, person-centred principles, and cognitive behavioural techniques so that each plan of work is tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

She has developed a strong background in risk assessment and safeguarding and regularly collaborates with multi-disciplinary teams to coordinate care when needed. Codie holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Her manner is warm and energetic while remaining focused and professional, helping clients work through panic, relationship changes, low self-worth, and isolation to build greater resilience and self-compassion.

Codie accepts international clients and offers flexible ways of working to suit different needs and life circumstances.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Remotely

Codie commonly draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and low self-esteem. She also uses a person-centred approach that emphasises active listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel accepted as they explore difficult emotions and life changes.

For younger clients or those who respond well to creative methods, Codie brings elements of play therapy into sessions to support expression and processing in a more hands-on way. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Codie works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel and help people access licensed professionals when in-person sessions are not convenient. The focus remains on effective, evidence-informed support tailored to each person.
