About Aimee

Aimee Cooke is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.

Aimee describes her approach as integrative, which means she adjusts her way of working to suit the person in front of her. She places importance on the working relationship and on listening without judgment. Sessions are paced to suit the individual rather than following a rigid timetable.

In practice she uses ideas from attachment‑based work to look at how past relationships influence current patterns. She also draws on client‑centred principles to keep the focus on the person’s experience. Emotionally‑focused and psychodynamic perspectives are used where exploring emotional patterns and underlying dynamics is helpful.

For people who have experienced trauma, she includes trauma‑focused methods to address painful memories and reactions. Across approaches the emphasis is on helping people notice their feelings, understand relationship patterns, and make small, manageable changes in everyday life.

Aimee asks people to take the practical steps of choosing an online option, completing a short matching questionnaire, and booking a first session. Her work follows the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society's ethical framework, and sessions are conducted in English.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Aimee uses attachment‑based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current behaviour; this can help with anxiety about closeness and communication. Client‑centred work keeps the focus on the person’s own experience, encouraging clear expression of feelings and needs. Emotionally‑focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions in the moment, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aimee will discuss possibilities with the client and together decide which methods feel most helpful. She treats this as a collaborative process that can change as the client’s needs and goals evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check‑ins around work breaks, or offering a choice between video or phone depending on comfort and bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals use these practical formats to help sessions slot into busy schedules.
