Amelia Weir, BACP

Amelia Weir is a qualified person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience supporting adults through a variety of emotional difficulties. She holds a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and has undertaken additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which she brings into sessions when it can offer practical benefit. She is also a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her professional training and standards.

Her practice aims to provide a calm, compassionate space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgement. Amelia blends person-centred listening with tailored CBT techniques, allowing her to offer reflective, empathic support alongside concrete tools to manage anxiety, low mood, stress, and low self-esteem. She works with parenting concerns and coping with life changes as well as issues such as loss, grief, relationship difficulties, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Amelia approaches each person with patience and empathy, supporting them to move at their own pace and to find ways of feeling more grounded, in control, and connected to who they are. Whether the work focuses on practical coping strategies, shifting unhelpful patterns, or simply providing space to be heard, she aims to support meaningful, lasting change and is ready to work with people when they choose to begin.

Person-centred care and CBT delivered online

Amelia Weir combines person-centred counselling with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to address emotional difficulties. Person-centred counselling focuses on empathetic listening and supporting a person to explore their feelings and sense of self, which can help with issues like low confidence, grief, and feeling stuck. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and overwhelming thoughts, making it useful for stress and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amelia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the balance between reflective exploration and practical tools as the work progresses. This collaboration helps ensure the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single approach.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around other commitments. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity when travel or location is a barrier, and enable registered professionals and therapists to work effectively with people who need different ways of engaging with therapy.
