About Amy
Amy Griffiths is a counsellor with five years' experience who aims to create a gentle, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed. She uses a warm, person-focused style to help clients name and make sense of painful or confusing feelings. Amy is registered with the BACP, which she lists as her professional credential.
She supports people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and challenges around identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria.
Background and approach
She also helps people manage issues like sleep problems, low self-esteem, addictions, and career stress. Amy works with neurodiversity concerns including autism and Asperger syndrome and with ageing or caregiver stress. Amy practises primarily using client-centred methods and mindfulness approaches.
That means she listens closely, follows the person’s lead, and uses mindful awareness to reduce distress. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical ways to cope with daily pressures. She offers a straightforward, compassionate style rather than directing or judging.
Conversations can cover difficult thoughts and feelings, life changes, anticipatory grief, or uncertainty about the future. Amy aims to help clients build clearer understanding and practical steps they can use between sessions. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged for people in the United Kingdom or internationally.
Amy accepts a range of issues including intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and first responder stress, while adapting to each person’s needs and pace.

Approaches Amy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple awareness skills for managing stress and difficult emotions. Mindfulness sessions involve short, practical exercises and guidance on noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. These skills can help with sleep problems, rumination, and coping with painful memories or change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss goals and preferences early on and adapt techniques to what feels most helpful. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need no camera and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or health needs while keeping therapy accessible and practical.
