About Polly

Polly Amies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of recent practice. She has worked across therapeutic settings for many years and now offers one-to-one support online. Polly focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes in a straightforward, compassionate way.

Polly uses a warm, collaborative style that puts the client’s experience first. She believes people know their own story and brings curiosity to help them build on their strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be practical and tailored to what each person needs right now. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting stress, and issues linked to identity such as LGBT matters. She also supports people with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar and long-term health challenges.

Polly draws on client-centred listening alongside structured approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and solution-focused methods. She will use motivational interviewing when people want to change habits or find new direction. The focus is on realistic steps that fit everyday life.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the UK and internationally. Polly communicates in a plain, respectful way and works at a pace set by the client. She encourages people to try a first session to see how the relationship feels and whether the approach is helpful.

Online support

Client-Centred Therapy centres on attentive listening and helping the client lead the conversation. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and build on strengths. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Polly approaches the choice of method collaboratively. She will talk through different ways of working and agree on what feels right for the person’s goals and day-to-day life. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when audio only is preferable or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who find typed communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
