About Aimee

Aimee Cooke is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, major life changes and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and she follows the NCPS ethical framework.

Aimee describes her practice as integrative, which means she adapts her approach to the needs of each person. She listens without judgement and works at a pace that feels manageable for the client. Her work places value on building a strong therapeutic relationship so people can talk through difficult feelings and start to understand themselves more clearly.

Aimee uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. She also draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused thinking when relevant. In sessions she focuses on feelings, relational patterns and events from the past that affect current responses.

Clients can expect direct conversation about emotions and relationship patterns. Aimee helps name and track strong feelings, and looks at how those feelings shape behaviour and connections with others. She aims to help people notice patterns such as abandonment fears, codependency and communication problems.

Practical concerns like separation, divorce, domestic violence, dissociation and first responder stress are within her stated focus areas. People who want to begin are invited to follow the service booking steps and complete a short questionnaire to set up an initial session.

How Emotion-Focused and attachment work translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and naming strong emotions and the ways those emotions shape relationships. It is often used when people want to understand patterns of feeling and connection that feel confusing or painful.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship experiences and how they influence current reactions. It helps people see repeating patterns like abandonment fears or avoidant responses and consider different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aimee will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether EFT, attachment-based ideas or a client-centred way of working fits best for the current needs.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit talks into work breaks, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and not having to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can support people online, and Aimee will discuss how to shape sessions so they work with everyday life.
