Amy Wright, BACP

Amy Wright uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings and situations. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Amy works with adults on relationship and family concerns, addiction-related difficulties, grief and the fallout from trauma and abuse.

She has 14 years of experience in the counselling field in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Amy typically meets people one-to-one and offers flexible lengths of counselling to fit individual needs. Sessions begin by talking about what brought someone to counselling and what they hope to change.

Amy has particular experience supporting people affected by problem gambling and also helps those close to someone with gambling difficulties. She is inclusive of LGBT people and attentive to issues around attachment, abandonment and blended family dynamics. Other areas she supports include fertility worries, caregiver stress, body image and chronic health challenges.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to build a trusting, equal relationship and to listen without judgement. From that base she helps people clarify their feelings, notice unhelpful patterns and make practical steps forward.

Sessions can be short term or open-ended depending on what someone needs. People who choose to work with Amy start by describing their concerns, then agree on goals and a plan for how to move ahead.

Person-centred counselling online and what it involves

Amy works primarily from a client-centred approach which puts the person and their experience at the centre of each session. This means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own answers; it can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life changes.

The focus is on building a trusting, equal relationship so people feel heard and understood. That foundation helps when facing bereavement, trauma, addiction issues or ongoing health challenges. The counsellor will adapt the pace and focus to what the person brings each week rather than following a rigid programme.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amy will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods to match the person's goals and preferences. Together they set aims, review progress and change course if needed so the work stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for a fuller conversational feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can fit shorter reflections around a busy day. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to attend around work, caring responsibilities or other commitments.
