Amie Coates, BACP

Amie Coates is a UK-based therapist with 17 years of professional experience across private practice, educational settings, and charity partnerships. She specialises in supporting people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and she also works with issues related to adoption, attachment, caregiving, chronic illness, and family breakdown. Her approach is shaped by integrative counselling training - an approach that blends techniques from several models to meet each person's needs - and draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy, person-centred work, play and art therapy, and psychodynamic ideas.

Amie treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she emphasises personal autonomy and potential when shaping therapy. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to the individual rather than following a fixed formula, adapting methods to suit the client’s situation and goals. Amie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can be challenging, and Amie offers steady, practical support to help clients build resilience, improve wellbeing, and work through difficult life transitions at a pace that feels right for them.
