Amy Neave, NCPS

Amy Neave is a counsellor (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society registration) who offers an attentive, calm space for people to reconnect with themselves. She welcomes those feeling anxious, low in mood, overwhelmed, or stuck in unhelpful patterns. Amy aims to help clients slow down, understand difficult feelings, and begin making small, meaningful changes.

She works with people aged 15 and above and supports those wanting to better understand their emotions, thought patterns and relationships. Much of the work focuses on recognising unhelpful beliefs such as I’m not enough, and learning kinder ways to relate to oneself. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Amy draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She also uses client-centred and emotionally-focused ideas to shape how sessions feel and flow. These methods are used to help with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem concerns.

She has around five years of professional experience and is registered with the NCPS. Amy has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and autism, and aims to adapt her work to each person’s way of thinking and communicating.

Therapy with Amy often involves noticing patterns, practising grounding or regulation techniques, and trying small experiments between sessions. The focus is on developing self-compassion, clearer emotional understanding and practical steps towards the life someone wants to build.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online work

Amy blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-based and client-centred ideas to guide online sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and values, and take small committed steps towards what matters. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people recognise and change those patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the relationship in the room, offering empathic listening and non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Amy will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as you learn what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a therapist from the United Kingdom while living elsewhere; confirm international arrangements if relevant. The biography indicates online counselling is offered, but specific session formats were not listed here, so please check the current options before booking.
