About Amy
BACP. 5 years' experience. Amy Griffiths works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and a wide range of life changes including issues related to LGBT identities and neurodiversity.
Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her counselling. She aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings, reduce social isolation, and cope with everyday pressures. Sessions focus on talking through what matters now and finding ways to manage what feels overwhelming.
She also offers support around relationship and intimacy difficulties, addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she lists include aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, cancer and caregiver stress, and end-of-life and hospice concerns.
In sessions Amy listens without judgement and helps people explore feelings they may find hard to name. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the present and reduce reactivity. The client-centred approach means the person sets the pace and topics of each meeting.
People who contact Amy often do so because they feel isolated, confused or unsettled by change. She will work with anticipatory grief as well as grief from recent loss, and she accepts international clients. Practical steps and everyday coping strategies are part of the work alongside emotional reflection.
How her approaches shape online counselling
Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and responding to what a person brings. This approach helps when someone needs time and acceptance to talk through difficult feelings and to set the pace of work.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing techniques. These tools can help reduce anxiety, manage stress and improve sleep by bringing attention to present-moment experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That collaborative process helps choose which methods to use and how to adapt them to each person's needs.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work or caregiving commitments and avoiding travel. If you are considering online options, confirm which session formats are available before booking since the original biography did not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions easier to include in a busy week and useful for maintaining steady support over time.
