About Amy
Amy Griffiths is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make talking about difficult feelings easier. Conversations are simple and steady, focused on what matters to the person in front of her.
She listens without judgement and helps people name what they are feeling. That might include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or the confusion that follows major life changes.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to issues around neurodiversity and gender identity, including transgender experiences and related family dynamics. Amy uses a person-centred style that keeps the client’s perspective central. She encourages self-reflection and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing a plan.
Mindfulness tools are used when helpful to bring calm and build awareness of thoughts and sensations. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client. Amy will support practical coping strategies alongside emotional work, for example ways to manage sleep, reduce stress or handle relationship strain.
She works with people dealing with addiction, career stress, compassion fatigue and end-of-life concerns as part of a broad practice. Her approach is straightforward and adaptable. People looking for calm listening, clearer thinking, and practical steps to feel steadier often find this style useful.
Amy welcomes conversations in English and offers online formats to suit different needs.
How client-centred care and mindfulness work online
Amy uses a person-centred approach that places the client’s priorities at the heart of each conversation. This means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and supports the person to make sense of their feelings and choices. It suits people who want a respectful space to talk and to discover their own next steps.Mindfulness therapy in her work involves simple, short practices and attention exercises. These help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems by training awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness can be used alongside talking to reduce reactivity and build calmer routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they will try ways of working and adjust as needed, keeping sessions practical and grounded in everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, while live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or for those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
