Aimee Woodrow, BACP

Aimee Woodrow is a dedicated person-centred counsellor with a BA Hons degree in Person Centred Counselling and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings a decade of practice to her work, combining one-to-one and group counselling experience with skills sessions and teaching. Aimee places emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and enables clients to lead the pace and focus of each session, offering a non-judgemental space to explore difficult emotions and life events.

Her experience includes working with a range of vulnerable people, from older adults to children and those with special needs, and she applies careful safeguarding practices in all settings. Aimee has supported people dealing with anxiety, grief, family conflict, past abuse, pregnancy loss and stillbirth, and substance-related issues, among other concerns. She maintains regular professional reflection through supervision and self-care, and she pursues ongoing professional development to keep her practice thoughtful and current.

Alongside clinical work, Aimee teaches Person Centred Counselling on a part-time basis at college level and is undertaking a Masters in Psychology. Her approach is patient-centred, compassionate and focused on creating a respectful environment where each client’s priorities guide the work together.

Person-Centred Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship in which the client directs the conversation and pace. This approach helps people exploring issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and life transitions by emphasising empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for insight and growth.

Person-Centred counselling, as practiced by Aimee, places the individual’s experience at the centre of the work and supports people to process trauma, cope with loss, and address substance-related or family-related concerns. Her teaching background and ongoing professional development inform a reflective, attentive style that prioritises the client’s needs.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Aimee works collaboratively with clients to determine what feels most helpful, adapting methods based on each person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances. Registered professionals and therapists often adjust their approach as the work unfolds to best support progress.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for clients with busy schedules, those who live far from services, or people who prefer remote communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that fits a client’s comfort and practical needs.
