About Amy
Amy Griffiths is a counsellor with five years' experience working with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious or unsure about big changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and aims to make the first conversations calm and straightforward. Amy greets each person with warmth and without judgement.
Her approach is rooted in client-centred practice. She listens closely and helps people name feelings that might be hard to describe. Sessions are plainspoken and paced to the individual, with room to talk about grief, anxiety, identity concerns or day-to-day stress.
Background and approach
Amy has experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, addictions, and depression. She also works with issues such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, intimacy-related worries and career stress. Additional focus areas include neurodiversity and gender identity matters, as well as end-of-life and caregiving concerns.
Mindfulness techniques feature alongside client-centred ways of working. Amy uses simple, practical exercises to help people notice thoughts and calm the body between sessions. The aim is to build coping skills that fit into everyday life rather than add pressure.
Conversations often cover practical steps as well as emotional processing. Amy helps people plan next actions, try small changes and review what works. She encourages people to set the pace and shape the work to their needs.
How Amy uses client-centred and mindfulness work online
Amy uses client-centred therapy to base work on the person's own goals and pace. This means the therapist listens first, reflects what she hears and helps people shape the sessions around their priorities. Client-centred work is helpful for anxiety, low mood and processing life changes. She also draws on mindfulness therapy, teaching simple exercises to notice thoughts and calm the body. Mindfulness can help with stress, sleeplessness and overwhelming emotions by offering short, practical techniques people can use between meetings. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful for each person, adjusting methods as needs and goals change. This makes the work flexible and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.Questions people ask
