Amy Griffiths, BACP

Amy Griffiths is a compassionate, person-centered counsellor working with individuals facing a wide range of emotional challenges. She offers calm, nonjudgmental support to people who are feeling raw, isolated, confused, or fearful, and helps them make sense of difficult emotions, adjust to change, and build practical coping strategies. Amy works extensively with neurodiversity and transgender issues and is experienced supporting family members of neurodivergent and transgender people. She also addresses anticipatory and current grief and loss, social isolation, anxiety, life transitions, and the vague "not quite sure" feelings that can affect daily functioning.

Amy applies a person-centered approach that places the individual at the heart of the work, offering space to explore thoughts and feelings without judgement. She believes in working alongside people to deepen understanding and to find ways forward, and she welcomes discussion of any topic, thought, or feeling that matters to the client. With five years of practice, she supports people through stress, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, intimacy and relationship issues, sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and career concerns, depression, compassion fatigue, and a range of other life challenges.

Amy holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which identifies her as part of a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, providing sessions that can fit different schedules and needs.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Amy uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and clarifies. This approach helps people explore identity, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions by emphasizing empathy and acceptance.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches practical techniques to bring attention to the present moment and to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, and reactions to painful memories.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amy works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods that fit their situation, adjusting pace and focus as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Amy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and time zones and to access registered professionals when in-person sessions are not practical.
