About Codie

Codie Foster welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or difficult life changes. She aims to make sessions approachable and calm so people can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Her manner is friendly and upbeat while staying focused on practical steps that help day-to-day life.

She has three years of experience across mental health, community, and independent practice settings. That background means she is used to responding to a range of emotional concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem.

02

How Codie works

She also supports issues such as body image, panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt and shame, loneliness, and communication problems. Her work is client-focused and draws on integrative methods to match each person’s needs. She uses person-centred listening to build trust, cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and elements of play-based approaches where appropriate.

Sessions aim to be practical and grounded in what will change daily life. Codie has experience with risk assessment and safeguarding, and has worked alongside other professionals when collaboration is helpful. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP.

She works in English and accepts international clients. People can expect clear, plain talk and step-by-step planning as part of therapy. Initial contact typically begins with a short matching questionnaire to help find the right fit and then scheduling is arranged according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Codie uses a small set of evidence-based techniques tailored to the person. Person-centred work focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions; this is useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and aim to build practical strategies to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood. Play-based elements may be introduced when they fit the client’s needs to open up expression and make difficult topics easier to discuss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s goals, responses and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses to keep it useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people talk face to face when meeting in person is difficult and are good for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit those who prefer writing, want flexibility outside usual hours, or need to fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
