About Amy

Amy Neave is a counsellor who offers calm, compassionate online support for people feeling stuck or disconnected. She uses a relational, gentle style to help clients slow down, reflect and notice what matters to them. Amy is NCPS registered, and she frames sessions around understanding emotions, thoughts and relationships rather than quick fixes.

Her practice focuses on things like anxiety, stress, low mood and the fallout from past trauma or abuse.

How Amy works

She also helps people with self-esteem, coping with big life changes, grief, addiction and career worries. Amy pays attention to attachment patterns and how they affect everyday relationships. Sessions often include learning to recognise unhelpful beliefs such as "I’m not enough" and trying small, manageable ways to test and change those thoughts.

She brings together ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit each person’s pace. The work is practical and down to earth, with tools for emotional regulation and clearer communication.

Amy is experienced in supporting people who identify as neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and autism, and adapts her approach to how a person prefers to think and communicate. She aims to make space for each person’s style without judgement. With five years’ experience, Amy frames therapy as a joint process.

She helps people build self-compassion, emotional clarity and small steps toward the life they want. Her sessions are offered online to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.

How these approaches work online

Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT supports work on anxiety, avoidance and moving towards meaningful goals even when emotions are hard to sit with.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This can help people spot repeated patterns and practise new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change them, which suits concerns like anxiety, low mood and some eating issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then shape sessions collaboratively so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or study commitments and to test approaches in everyday life.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
