Therapy with Aimee
About me
Helping capable women break free from self-doubt and overthinking
I’m Aimee, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based near Woking in Surrey. I specialise in working with high-achieving, independent women who look like they’ve got it all together—but inside, they’re stuck in cycles of self-doubt, overthinking, and feeling like they can’t trust themselves.
I hold a Foundation Degree in Counselling from Middlesex University (studied locally at Guildford College), accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I’m also a registered member of the BACP, meaning I adhere to high professional and ethical standards.
How I work
No vague advice. No therapy clichés. Just real conversations that help you move forward.
Therapy with me isn’t about staring in silence while you do all the work, or throwing out generic “just love yourself” clichés. We’ll have real, honest conversations about what’s going on for you and what patterns keep you stuck.
I take an integrative approach, meaning I tailor therapy to you. We might explore how past experiences are shaping your present, or we might focus on practical steps to help you move forward now. Either way, my goal is to help you stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling confident in your choices again

Why I work with women who doubt themselves
I’ve always been drawn to understanding how life’s challenges shape us. Over the years, I’ve seen how difficult experiences can leave people feeling stuck, disconnected, or like they can’t trust themselves anymore.
My focus is in helping women break free from those patterns. If you’ve been left doubting yourself because of past relationships, experiences, or expectations, therapy can help you rebuild trust in yourself, feel confident in your decisions, and finally stop feeling like you're getting life “wrong.”
