Amy Griffiths , BACP

Amy Griffiths is a counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach to help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or unsure about the next step. Amy works with issues around stress, grief, low self-esteem and identity concerns, and she includes women's issues among her areas of practice.

Amy practises client-centred counselling, which means sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. She offers a calm space to talk through feelings, even when they feel confusing or painful. Topics often include coping with life changes, bereavement, addiction and sleep difficulties.

Mindfulness forms a practical part of her work. She uses simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce worry and to help people feel more present. These skills are offered alongside open conversation rather than as a separate formal course.

Amy also has experience supporting people with neurodiversity and gender identity questions, and she can help relatives who are trying to understand those changes in someone close to them. She works with trauma and abuse as well as the ripple effects of stress and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Amy works in English and accepts international clients, adapting the format to fit practical needs and preferences. To begin, a short matching questionnaire leads to scheduling a first appointment.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Amy uses client-centred counselling in online sessions, which means the focus stays on the person's issues and priorities. This approach lets the person lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports understanding, useful for anxiety, grief and relationship questions.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy in a practical way. That means short attention and grounding techniques are shown and practised during sessions to reduce rumination and help with sleep or stress. These exercises are easy to learn in conversation and can be repeated between appointments.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Amy will work collaboratively to decide whether more conversation, mindfulness practice or a mix of both is most helpful. She adapts methods to the person's goals and everyday life rather than imposing a single way of working.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues while chat and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when bandwidth is limited. Phone sessions are useful when someone prefers not to be on camera, and messaging can fit around work or caregiving schedules. These choices make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to match the format to what works in day-to-day life.
