She also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, practical goals and review progress.

Ways of working Amy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amy commonly uses client-centred techniques and cognitive behavioural methods. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers; it suits those who want a supportive, non‑directive space to talk through feelings and decisions. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at patterns of thought and behaviour and offer practical exercises to try between sessions; these can help with anxiety, mood and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy collaborates with each person to decide which ideas to use and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She checks in regularly about what is helpful and what might need changing so therapy stays relevant to the person's goals.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel while phone calls can fit into a short break or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support quicker check-ins, written reflection and flexible contact outside scheduled calls. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps.
