Amy Griffiths, BACP

Amy Griffiths is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, isolated, confused or afraid and aims to offer a steady, non-judgemental space to talk. Amy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, which reflects her professional registration.

Amy helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She supports those dealing with trauma, grief and loss, and people adjusting to big life changes. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem and career worries.

Her practice includes work with LGBT and gender dysphoria issues, intimacy and commitment problems, and difficulties following cancer, caregiving or bereavement. Amy also offers support for compassion fatigue, first responder issues, and complex feelings like guilt, shame or emptiness.

Amy uses a client-centred approach that places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations and to develop coping strategies for distressing moments.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Amy listens without judgement, helps people make sense of their feelings, and supports practical steps they want to try. She invites openness and aims to help people find greater clarity and calmer ways to cope.

Approaches and what online therapy can offer

Amy uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own experience, values and priorities. Sessions centre on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings and decide what changes they want to try. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship or identity questions.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy, which teaches attention to breathing, bodily sensations and thoughts. Mindfulness can help reduce rumination and make intense emotions easier to tolerate during stressful times, such as after loss or when coping with chronic worry.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Amy will talk through different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful for each person's needs and goals. Plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the approach grows from the client's preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when screens are possible, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
