Amy Fidler , ACA

Amy Fidler is an ACA counsellor with four years of practical experience helping people facing stress and anxiety. She works with those dealing with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns and low self-esteem. Amy aims to build a collaborative space where clients feel heard and regain a sense of direction.

Amy believes each person knows their own story and strengths. She supports people to notice what’s already working and to try small, manageable changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon-filled explanations.

Her counselling style is respectful and straightforward. Conversations explore patterns such as attachment or avoidance and how these affect relationships and self-worth. For people coping with panic, social anxiety or past trauma, she uses approaches that help regulate emotions and reduce distress over time.

Amy also helps with life transitions like divorce, grief and changes in caregiving roles. She offers practical tools for communication, managing guilt and rebuilding purpose after loss or upheaval. Money and financial stress are addressed with realistic planning and emotion-focused work.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule. The subscription can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on helping people manage overwhelming feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One approach emphasises regulating emotions and lowering anxiety through breathing, grounding and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. This helps with panic attacks, social anxiety and intense stress reactions. Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns - it examines how early experiences shape current relationships and helps people try different ways of connecting and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals, needs and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted if something isn't helping or if different support is needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when writing things out feels easier. These options make it simpler to attend appointments and to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving and daily life.
