Amie Mottram, BACP, NCPS

Amie Mottram offers practical, person-centred counselling focused on evidence-based techniques to help people manage distress and find clearer ways forward. She explains things plainly and helps people use their own strengths to face difficult moments. Amie works from the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her practice.

She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, grief and loss, and coping with major life changes. Amie provides a calm space to talk through challenges such as anger, self-esteem struggles, addiction-related issues, and intimacy-related worries.

Amie has experience with concerns linked to physical illness, including cancer and chronic pain, and with problems around domestic violence and family strain. She also addresses feelings of guilt and shame, isolation, panic attacks, phobias and personality-related difficulties. Amie works with people on smoking or vaping cessation, self-harm thoughts, and building self-love.

Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. She listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps people find tools that fit their day-to-day life. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change or understand.

Amie holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed here as supplied. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people use the platform's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

She understands taking the first step can be hard and acknowledges the courage it takes. Amie supports each person at their own pace while working together to build a clearer path forward.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Amie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One common approach she applies involves skills-based work to manage anxiety and panic symptoms - teaching breathing and coping strategies, identifying triggers and practising small behaviour changes that reduce worry. This helps with panic attacks, social anxiety and ongoing anxious thoughts.

She also works in ways that support mood and loss, helping people talk through grief, spot patterns that maintain low mood, and try small experiments to lift daily functioning. When physical illness, chronic pain or cancer affect someone’s life, sessions aim to address both emotional responses and practical coping plans.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Amie treats it as a collaboration. She listens to each person’s goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try first. That means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers clear practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls let a counsellor and client meet face to face when needed, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can help with quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on the issues someone wants to resolve.
