Amy Wright, BACP

Amy Wright is a UK-based, fully qualified counsellor with 14 years of experience working with adults on a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She practices from a person-centred foundation and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and adherence to national standards.

Amy offers one-to-one counselling for people aged 18 and over, providing flexible support that can be open-ended or tailored to short-term goals depending on individual needs. Over the years she has worked with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and confidence issues, bereavement and loss, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, major life transitions, infertility, and perimenopause or menopause concerns.

She also has more than 10 years of specialist experience supporting people affected by problematic gambling and their loved ones. Amy adopts an empathic, non-judgemental approach and aims to build an equal and trusting therapeutic relationship that helps clients gain insight, explore feelings, and discover their own ways of resolving difficulties.

Amy is LGBTQ+ inclusive and offers a welcoming space to explore the issues that have led someone to seek counselling. If she appears to be a good fit, prospective clients are invited to make contact to discuss next steps.

Person-Centred Care and Online Support

Amy Wright primarily works using a client-centred therapeutic approach, which focuses on listening with empathy, respecting the client’s perspective, and supporting self-directed growth. This approach helps people who are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions by creating space to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Alongside this, her practice offers open-ended, person-centred counselling that can be adapted to short-term or longer-term work depending on what the client needs. This flexibility supports those dealing with specific problems like problematic gambling or more complex, ongoing concerns such as trauma, family issues, or chronic life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Amy will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best with their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She works together with clients to try different ways of working until they find a helpful path.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy around work or caring responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
