Amy Heyes is a person centred counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
About Amy
Amy Heyes is a person centred counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers calm, steady support for people dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, stress and self-esteem struggles. Amy talks through problems without judging and helps people find clearer next steps.
Amy works in a person centred way. That means she gives people space to speak and listens closely. She reflects what she hears and sometimes offers observations to help clients see a path forward.
Background and approach
This approach suits people who need time to make sense of difficult feelings. She has three years of professional experience supporting people with long-term health issues and chronic pain alongside mental health concerns. Amy has also worked with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and with people affected by post-traumatic stress.
She pays particular attention to shame, guilt and isolation as part of recovery. Sessions focus on the concerns the person brings. Amy supports people facing relationship challenges, parenting strain, career crossroads, or the impact of bipolar disorder and ADHD on daily life.
She also works with issues around sexuality and LGBT matters. Amy offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She aims to be practical and compassionate, staying alongside people until they can take the next step forward.

Online support
She also draws on evidence-based techniques when helpful to address trauma and stress reactions. These techniques help people manage distressing memories and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Amy adapts what she offers to suit the person rather than using a fixed formula.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Amy will discuss options with clients and agree a plan together based on needs and goals. She treats the choice of approaches as a collaborative process and reviews progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text sessions suit shorter check-ins or for those who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life and to continue support when travel is difficult.
