About Amy

Amy Neave is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom and has five years of practice. She works with adults on difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, relationship problems, anger and coping with life changes. Sessions are presented plainly and directly to help people slow down and better understand their emotions.

Amy offers online counselling aimed at helping people notice thought patterns and emotional responses. She often helps clients identify attachment patterns and how these affect close relationships. Practical strategies for managing emotional intensity and everyday stress are a frequent focus.

Her work draws on approaches that encourage acceptance alongside change. Clients explore unhelpful beliefs that keep them stuck, such as perfectionism or persistent self-doubt. Conversations aim to move from repetitive thinking into clearer, more workable choices about feelings and behaviour.

Amy has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and autism, and she adapts her style to how each person processes information. She uses straightforward techniques for nervous system regulation and grounding when emotion runs high.

The counselling is person-focused and relational, with an emphasis on active listening and respect. Practical tools and reflections are blended with longer-term exploration of past experiences when useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online service.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Amy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to small, meaningful steps forward, which can help with anger and persistent worry.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape reactions now. This approach helps people see why certain situations trigger strong emotions and how to change interaction patterns that fuel resentment or repeated conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amy will explore your goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques, and then agree a way of working together that feels manageable. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, family and travel, or helpful when they prefer a shorter check-in or to avoid video. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on everyday life.
