About Amy

Amy Heyes is a person centred counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people facing addictions, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures and many family-related concerns. Amy is direct and calm in session and aims to help people find a clearer way forward by talking through what matters most to them.

She gives people space to speak without judgement and helps them process difficult feelings. Sessions focus on where you are now and on small steps that feel manageable. Amy may offer reflections or clarity to help you see options more clearly.

Her experience includes supporting people living with chronic pain and long-term health conditions, and those who have experienced forms of abuse. This practical background informs how she holds sensitive topics and responds to strong emotions.

Amy brings three years of counselling experience to her work and draws on person centred practice as her main approach. That means she centres the conversation on your priorities and pace rather than imposing a fixed agenda.

People choose Amy when they want a steady presence during hard moments. She aims to stand alongside clients while they consider next steps, whether that means coping strategies, relationship questions, or changes at home or work.

How person centred work and online sessions can help

Amy primarily practices person centred counselling, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what you say so you can find your own solutions. This approach is useful for issues like parenting stress, relationship worries and low self-esteem because it follows the client’s pace and priorities.

She also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. These techniques aim to reduce immediate distress and build small skills you can use day to day, for example breathing or grounding strategies and straightforward planning for difficult situations.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the pace and focus as you progress. The choice is collaborative rather than fixed.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around school or work and avoiding travel time. Please confirm the specific session formats available with the service before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to bring real-life issues into the conversation.
