About Amy
Amy Houston offers support for relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also helps with addiction concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and work-related stress. Amy presents a calm, straightforward style and aims to make talking about hard things feel easier.
Amy creates an accepting space where clients can speak without being judged. She encourages people to describe what matters to them and works at their pace.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on real life - the choices someone can make and small steps that feel doable. Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the client's experience at the centre of sessions. That means listening first and helping people find their own answers rather than pushing techniques at them.
Amy draws on three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and lists membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions can address practical problems such as communication breakdowns, parenting strain, or career uncertainty. They also cover emotional issues like guilt, shame, emptiness and processing past hurts.
Amy aims to help clients rebuild confidence and set realistic goals for change. For those worried about starting therapy, Amy keeps the first conversations simple and clear. She supports people through the early steps and helps build a plan that fits everyday life.
Her style is warm, patient and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

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.
Client-centred care offered online
Amy works from a Client-Centred Therapy perspective, which begins with listening carefully to each person's experience. This approach is about understanding how someone sees their situation and helping them make choices that feel right. It suits issues such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes.The therapist will work together with the client to find the best way forward. Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and may change as goals become clearer. Amy will discuss what helps most and adapt sessions to the client's needs and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and schedules allow. Phone sessions can work well when a shorter check-in is needed or when not being on camera is preferable. Live chat and messaging suit people who want brief, text-based contact or need support that fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
