About Amy
Amy Heyes is a person centred counsellor who helps people with anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. She supports people facing stress, low self-esteem, grief and relationship strains. Amy also works with concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting pressures, anger and career worries.
She uses a person centred way of working. That means she gives people space to talk and listens without judgment. Amy offers reflections and clarity so clients can see their own options.
How Amy works
Sessions aim to make it easier to take small steps forward. Amy has a BACP membership, which shows she follows professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of experience working with people who live with chronic pain, illness or disability.
She has also supported people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. Her approach is practical and steady. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, isolation and compassion fatigue.
Amy is comfortable discussing sexuality, LGBT concerns, narcissistic behaviours and post-traumatic stress when they come up in sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online in a variety of formats. She works with people in the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their needs.

How person centred ways work online
Amy draws on person centred practice, which focuses on listening and understanding. In this approach the counsellor gives attention to your experience, reflects what they hear and helps you notice options and next steps. It is helpful for issues like anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.She also works with people affected by trauma and chronic pain by creating steady, supportive conversations that help make sense of difficult experiences. This approach can help when someone is coping with post-traumatic stress, domestic violence or ongoing health challenges.
Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Amy will discuss which approaches might suit your situation and will work with you to choose what feels most useful. The decision is collaborative and can evolve as therapy continues.
Online therapy with Amy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give practical flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, family and health needs.
