About Amy
Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week, and Amy helps people make sense of patterns that keep causing pain or difficulty. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain, and she takes a practical approach to improving day-to-day coping.
Amy has worked with a wide range of concerns over the years. This includes grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, parenting strain and compassion fatigue, and issues around identity, body image and fertility. She also has extensive experience supporting people affected by problematic gambling and their loved ones.
She describes her counselling as usually open-ended but flexible to shorter work when that suits a person’s needs. Amy emphasises building an equal, trusting relationship and listens without judgement to help people discover their own ways forward.
People who prefer inclusive practice will find her LGBTQ+ inclusive. Sessions are offered in English and are for adults aged 18 and above. To begin, readers are invited to use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.
How a person-centred approach works online
Amy practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting a person to find their own solutions. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects on what is said and gently helps people notice patterns and choices that matter. This approach suits issues like low mood, stress, relationship concerns and life changes where understanding yourself is the main goal.Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the style and pace accordingly. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription, so the approach can change if a person wants something different later on.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching stage about what will work for you and how to arrange sessions that fit around work, caregiving or other commitments.
