Aimee Cooke, NCPS

Aimee Cooke is a counsellor who aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. She works according to the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, and follows its ethical framework. Aimee focuses on creating a steady, understanding space where people can talk through what matters to them. She meets people without judgement and supports them at a pace that suits their needs.

Aimee believes the working relationship is central to change. She listens closely and responds with kindness so people feel comfortable to share difficult thoughts and memories. That shared trust helps people notice patterns in how they relate to themselves and others. From there they can start to make different choices in daily life.

Her practice is flexible and founded on several well known approaches. Attachment-based ideas help when past bonds affect present feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports clearer emotional expression in relationships. Trauma-focused work is used when painful events need careful attention.

People come to Aimee for a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, dissociation and separation. Sessions aim to build self-awareness, coping skills and a steadier sense of self.

Aimee has three years of professional experience and works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom. She offers conversations that are straightforward, respectful and grounded in real-life concerns.

How Aimee’s approaches work online

Aimee uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when people struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or repeated relationship issues and aims to create a safer way of relating to others.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps people identify and express underlying emotions more clearly. EFT-style work can be useful for improving communication, managing intense feelings and restoring emotional connection with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aimee will discuss the options and help decide what fits best with a person’s goals, history and what feels manageable. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people see non-verbal cues and build rapport, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick coping support or those who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
