About Amy
Amy Cumber is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with people struggling with low self-esteem, depression, bipolar mood changes and life transitions. Her manner is warm and collaborative, and she aims to move at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
She believes clients are the experts in their own lives. Sessions focus on practical steps and on finding the strengths already present.
Background and approach
Amy combines listening with gentle challenge so people can try new ways of coping and thinking. Her approach draws on a mix of methods, including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. She uses what fits the problem - short strategies for immediate worries and deeper work for longstanding patterns.
Amy has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which reflects recognised professional standards. She works with a wide range of concerns such as addictions, grief, trauma, relationship issues, parenting stress and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Sessions can address things like sleep and eating difficulties, anger and career stress as well as more specific topics such as attachment problems, adoption and foster care, BDSM and kink related issues, and chronic illness. People are supported to set realistic goals and build everyday skills to manage difficult moments.
How Amy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Amy uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as core methods in her online practice. Client-centred therapy involves careful listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, creating space to make choices and set priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss different methods with each person and select techniques together based on needs and goals. That shared decision-making helps shape short-term goals and longer term plans that feel doable.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to use visual cues and worksheets, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on building skills and coping strategies.
