Aimee Cooke, NCPS

Aimee Cooke is a counsellor who welcomes people taking the first step towards support. She works in line with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS - and describes her practice as integrative, shaping sessions around what each person needs.

She focuses on building a trusting relationship and listens without judgement. Sessions are paced to feel safe and considerate, giving space for feelings and experiences to be voiced.

In practice Aimee uses a blend of approaches, including attachment work and emotionally focused methods alongside psychodynamic and trauma-informed ideas. That mix helps when someone wants to understand patterns in relationships, manage stress and anxiety, or work through past hurt.

People come to her for a range of concerns such as intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, low mood and self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue, and pays attention to issues like attachment, codependency and communication problems.

Aimee aims to help people notice their own answers and strengths. Her role is to provide a holding, attentive presence while clients make sense of their experiences and build self-awareness for change.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Aimee draws on attachment-based thinking to help people understand how early relationships shape later patterns. This approach looks at how connection and distance show up in relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns.

She also uses emotionally focused ideas which focus on identifying and expressing feelings in the moment. That work aims to help people notice patterns in interactions, reduce emotional overwhelm and improve how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Aimee works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences and the problems they bring. She listens and adjusts the way she works as understanding grows over time.

Please confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to arrange meetings around work or caring responsibilities, and to choose whether to have video or audio contact depending on what suits each person best.
