About Amelia
Amelia Weir works from a person-centred counselling stance, offering a calm and non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult feelings. She is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience supporting adults with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns. Amelia blends a listening-led approach with practical techniques when helpful.
She can offer space for reflection and self-understanding or suggest straightforward tools to manage overwhelming thoughts. This flexible mix means sessions are shaped around what each person needs that week.
How Amelia works
Over a decade she has supported adults facing parenting strain, life changes, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, and moments of feeling stuck. Her work focuses on helping people feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day pressures. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Conversations are patient and paced so people can open up without rush. The emphasis is on building practical steps alongside talking things through. Amelia wants to help people feel more grounded and connected with themselves.
She encourages small, realistic changes that can make a real difference. If someone is unsure where to start, she helps them pin down what matters most and makes a plan together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a calm, non-judgemental space and follows the person’s lead to help them make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and parenting strain because it creates room to reflect and be heard.Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside listening when practical tools are needed. These techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying small experiments to change patterns of thinking or behaviour. They can help with managing worry, low mood and overwhelming thoughts by teaching step-by-step ways to respond differently.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor discusses needs, goals and preferences with each person and together they decide what to try. This collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
