Amy Neave, NCPS

Amy Neave uses a human-centred, relational approach to help people reconnect with themselves. She creates a calm online space where clients can slow down, reflect and make small, practical changes. Amy is NCPS registered, which she uses to inform her counselling practice in the United Kingdom.

She supports people dealing with anxiety, stress and low mood. She also helps those coping with relationship difficulties, grief, eating and addiction concerns, and the ups and downs of career or life change. Sessions commonly look at unhelpful beliefs and patterns that get in the way of feeling more grounded.

Amy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and emotionally focused work to help people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Counselling is shaped to each person’s pace and needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

She has five years of experience and a particular interest in supporting people with ADHD, autism and attachment-related worries. Work can include learning practical regulation tools, shifting self-critical thoughts and exploring identity and communication styles.

Sessions are offered online and can include video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Amy aims to help people build self-compassion, clearer emotional understanding and more confidence in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches meet online counselling

Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values to build a meaningful life. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and emotional responses, which can help when communication or trust feels difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That may mean trying a mix of approaches and adjusting what she does as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for richer face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
