About Amy
Amy Wright is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with adults aged 18 and over and supports people bringing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief and parenting challenges. She also offers one-to-one counselling for those affected by problematic gambling and for their loved ones.
Amy uses a person-centred approach, often called client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the individual. Sessions are usually open-ended, but she can work short term when that better suits someone’s needs. She is inclusive of LGBT people and aims to help adults explore the issues that have brought them to counselling.
In practice, Amy talks through what is happening now and what someone wants to change. She helps people gain clarity about their feelings and make practical steps forward. Topics she commonly supports include attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, fertility-related distress and body image troubles.
She has particular experience supporting carers under stress, people coping with chronic illness or disability, and those dealing with guilt, shame or forgiveness. Amy also works with people facing life transitions such as perimenopause and major changes in family roles.
Her background includes many years of one-to-one counselling across a wide range of concerns. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to see if the working style fits.
How sessions work
Client-centred work and how it translates to online sessions
Amy practises client-centred therapy, which is built on attentive listening and responding to what each person brings. This approach helps when people need to make sense of strong feelings, change patterns in relationships or cope with life transitions.Client-centred work means the therapist follows the person's concerns rather than imposing a strict plan. That can suit issues like anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress and problems linked to attachment or abandonment. The focus is on helping the person feel heard and on exploring practical next steps together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss preferences and goals in early sessions and will adapt how she works based on what someone needs. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide together how to proceed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and choose quieter surroundings that suit the individual. It can also allow shorter check-ins on busier days and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
