Codie Foster
Friendly counsellor for anxiety and grief
About Codie
Codie Foster helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or grief. She writes in a friendly, approachable way and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and calm. Codie offers practical talking work to help people feel more in control and able to cope day to day.
Codie has three years of experience across mental health services, community settings and independent practice. She uses an integrative approach, drawing on play-based ideas, person-centred principles and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person she sees.
Background and approach
That means she adapts methods to what a person needs rather than using one fixed way. Her main focus areas include anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. She also works on related concerns such as body image, communication problems, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, isolation and social anxiety.
Sessions aim to help people manage symptoms and build skills for everyday situations. Codie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has experience working with safeguarding, risk assessment and alongside other professionals when collaborative work is needed.
This background informs a careful, practical style. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people try different ways of thinking and coping. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
People can expect direct discussion, practical strategies and supportive reflection to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support
Codie draws on person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques and play-based ideas to make therapy fit the person. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding so people feel accepted and able to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. Play-based ideas are used where they help a person express feelings or try things out in less direct ways.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different methods and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative way helps people find a style that feels useful and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different days and schedules. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while keeping the focus on what helps the person make steady progress.
