Amy Griffiths, BACP

Amy Griffiths brings five years' experience as a counsellor and works from a person-centred perspective. She is a BACP member, and she aims to offer a calm, compassionate space for people who feel confused, overwhelmed or isolated. Amy writes plainly and meets people where they are, without judgement.

She often supports people through anxiety, stress and low mood. She also works with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Additional areas she focuses on include ADHD, addictions, sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue and work-related strain.

Amy has particular experience around LGBT and gender dysphoria matters, and she lists autism and neurodiversity as an area she works with. She can also help with life transitions such as divorce, bereavement, serious illness and caregiver stress.

In sessions she follows Client-Centred Therapy principles, which means the conversation is guided by the person's own goals and pace. She also uses elements of mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed. Sessions are a chance to talk things through, try new ways of coping and build small, practical steps forward.

Her approach is plain and steady. She invites open conversation about anything that matters to the client. To begin, readers should check the booking process and match to her via the Start Therapy flow on the site.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Amy works from a Client-Centred Therapy stance, which means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and pace rather than on the therapist directing change. This approach suits people who need a listening space to make sense of feelings and events.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions without being overwhelmed. Mindfulness tools can support people dealing with anxiety, stress, sleeping problems and grief by offering simple grounding practices to use between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt the mix of person-centred listening and mindfulness skills to what helps most. That collaboration shapes how therapy proceeds over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel time, which can make regular meetings easier to sustain. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and offers flexibility for people in different regions. Confirm the exact session formats available with the booking process before scheduling, rather than assuming specific options.
