About Amy
Amy Cumber is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and mood difficulties. She presents as warm and straightforward and encourages clients to lead the work with their own experience. Amy treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them find practical steps forward.
She uses a mix of talking therapies to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Background and approach
Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard. Mindfulness exercises are introduced to manage strong emotions and improve sleep and concentration. Amy also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable goals.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. She encourages honest feedback and adapts her approach as progress is made. Her experience includes supporting people through relationship strain, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress and neurodiversity-related issues.
She also works with those dealing with chronic illness, body image and sexual identity matters. Amy aims to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life. Therapy is offered online in a variety of formats to fit different schedules.
Sessions follow a clear structure with room for flexibility, and Amy helps people translate what they learn in sessions into real-world changes.

Online support
She may also bring in mindfulness techniques to help manage strong emotions and improve concentration. These are practical exercises that can be practised between sessions and tailored to everyday routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Amy discusses your goals and preferences and adapts methods over time. This collaborative process helps find what feels useful and realistic for your situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit around work, family and other commitments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity of care across busy weeks.
