About

About Aimee

Aimee Woodrow is a counsellor who focuses on helping parents and individuals feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely. Sessions centre on what you want to discuss and move at your pace so you stay in control of the conversation.

Aimee trained with a BA Hons in Person Centred Counselling, and she uses those principles in her work. She aims to build a trusting, non-judgemental space where people can talk through parenting pressures, relationship strains, substance concerns, loss, and low mood.

Background and approach

Her approach is collaborative and simple. Aimee lets clients lead sessions while offering steady, respectful reflection to help clarify feelings and choices. She also draws on her experience from group counselling and skills sessions when relevant.

She has worked with a wide range of situations including anxiety, grief, family difficulties, previous abuse, pregnancy loss and substance use. Aimee regularly engages in supervision and continuing professional development to keep her practice current and thoughtful. Alongside counselling she teaches Person Centred Counselling at college level and is undertaking a Masters in Psychology.

Her ten years of experience aim to help parents and individuals find clearer thinking, calmer responses and practical ways to manage daily pressures.

Online support

How a person-centred approach works online

Aimee uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and following what the client wants to bring to the session. The therapist reflects back feelings and observations so clients can make sense of their experience and decide on next steps. This approach suits people dealing with parenting stress, grief, anxiety and relationship questions because it keeps the client in control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aimee will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and she will adapt how sessions run to meet those needs. That means the method can change over time as progress or priorities shift, and the choice is made together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is most like face-to-face time and works well for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Chat or messaging suits short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility for busy parents and people with varied schedules.
