Amy Griffiths, BACP

Amy Griffiths is a counsellor with five years of experience who works with people facing a wide range of life stresses. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach to help individuals make sense of difficult feelings. Amy holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential.

She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps those coping with addiction, sleep problems, low self-esteem and career concerns. Amy lists LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, ADHD and intimacy-related issues among her areas of focus.

Amy practises in a person-centred way that places the client at the heart of the session. That means she listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people uncover their own answers rather than telling them what to do. This approach is often helpful when someone needs space to process change, loss or difficult decisions.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to support people who want more grounding and tools to manage anxiety and overwhelming thoughts. Mindfulness can involve simple breath and attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Amy has an interest in neurodiversity and transgender matters and mentions working with family members of neurodivergent or transgender people. She welcomes conversations about anticipatory and current grief, social isolation and the uncertain feelings that can affect daily life.

Practical steps in sessions include talking through feelings, noticing patterns and trying small changes between meetings. Amy describes herself as compassionate and hopes to give people a steady, supportive space to work through what matters to them.

Approaches that support managing health and life stress

Amy uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and pace. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps a person uncover their own solutions rather than giving instructions. This style often suits people who need space to understand change, loss or ongoing stress.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help with overwhelming thoughts and anxiety. Mindfulness work can include simple attention and breathing practices that aim to reduce reactivity and build a calmer way of responding to distressing feelings.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide whether a person-centred focus, mindfulness techniques or a mix is the best fit. That conversation can happen in an early session and be adjusted over time.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online arrangements can also help people keep therapy going while they are travelling or living abroad, but check the session types available when you arrange appointments.
