About Amy

Amy Neave is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has five years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem concerns, helping them reflect on feelings and patterns.

Amy offers straightforward, conversational sessions where people can talk about what’s worrying them. She helps clients notice unhelpful beliefs such as "I’m not enough" and gently questions those stories. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, thought patterns and relationship dynamics without pressure to be different straight away.

Her approach draws on a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That variety lets her use short exercises, reflective conversation or practical strategies depending on what a person needs that week.

She has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and autism, and pays attention to different ways of thinking and communicating. Common themes in her work include grief, career strain, eating and body-image concerns, coping with life changes and managing stress or addictive behaviours.

Amy explains the options for moving forward and works at a pace people can manage. To begin a series of sessions clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting via the online booking flow.

How Amy uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas in her online counselling. ACT involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that reflect what matters to you, which can help with anxiety and avoidance. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help when communication or trust feel difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She aims to make this a collaborative process so adjustments can be made as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and make it easier to attend from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and tools for video or phone meetings so clients can practise skills between sessions.
