About Amy

How Amy works
Sessions are gentle and non-judgemental. Amy follows a client-centred way of working that places the person's experience at the heart of the session. She offers mindfulness techniques to help people settle racing thoughts and notice what is happening in the moment.
Her background includes helping people manage compassion fatigue, caregiver strain and the emotional impact of ageing and illness. She also has experience with autism spectrum concerns, blended family issues and relationship ruptures such as separation and infidelity. Amy uses clear, practical language in sessions.
She listens, reflects and helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit around work and daily life. For those who prefer remote support, Amy offers phone, video, chat and text formats.
She works collaboratively to agree goals and to adapt the pace and focus as needs change.

Online support options
Client-centred and mindful support online
Amy uses client-centred therapy, which means she follows the person's lead and focuses on understanding their experience. This approach helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings such as grief, shame or confusion and to decide what matters most to them.She also brings mindfulness therapy into sessions, teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties by offering short practices to use between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and she adapts the pace and focus accordingly.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel.
