About Amy

Amy Wright is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years' experience supporting adults. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems and life changes. She also helps with bereavement, addiction concerns and issues linked to family and identity.

Amy uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. Sessions are usually one-to-one and can be short or long term depending on what the individual needs. She has particular experience supporting people affected by problematic gambling, and has worked with both those experiencing gambling harms and their loved ones for over ten years.

Her practice includes working with LGBT clients and with people dealing with grief, trauma and parenting strains. Other areas she covers include self-esteem, chronic health and caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and issues around commitment and control. Amy also lists experience with fertility and fatherhood issues.

In session she aims to build an equal, trusting relationship and to help people gain practical insight into what is causing distress. Conversations typically focus on understanding feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns and finding ways forward that suit the person's life. Her approach is conversational rather than prescriptive.

She offers counselling to adults aged 18 and over and works from a person-centred base. People interested in beginning work are invited to follow the site process to match with her and arrange an initial appointment.

How Amy uses person-centred work online

Amy practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means she focuses on listening and mirroring what a person brings. This approach helps when someone feels unsure about their choices, their identity, or is dealing with relationship and self-esteem problems. It aims to clarify feelings and priorities through calm, direct conversation.

The process of finding the right way to work is collaborative. Amy will discuss what matters to the person and suggest how sessions might be structured. Together they decide whether to aim for short-term practical work or a longer open-ended arrangement based on needs and goals.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online working can make fitting therapy into daily life easier because it removes travel time and can allow shorter check-ins around study or work. Some session ways also let people join without video or with simpler technology, which can help when bandwidth is limited or a shorter contact is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the rhythm and length of sessions so counselling fits alongside study, shifts and other early-adulthood demands.
