Amy Wright, BACP

Amy Wright is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She draws on 14 years of experience working with adults to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her practice.

Her work focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety and depression, and she supports people dealing with relationship and family problems. She also helps with addiction concerns, including a long history supporting people affected by problematic gambling and their loved ones. Other areas she sees include grief, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

Amy also works with people facing life changes such as fertility challenges, perimenopause and adjusting to chronic illness or pain. She is LGBTQ+ inclusive and offers one-to-one counselling for adults aged 18 and over. Sessions can be short term or open-ended depending on what each person needs.

In the counselling room she aims to build an equal, trusting relationship. She listens without judgement and supports people to make sense of their feelings. The emphasis is on helping someone find their own way forward rather than imposing solutions.

Practical steps to begin include completing the site matching questionnaire and booking a session when it suits you. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Amy practises person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. In this approach the counsellor follows the client’s concerns and helps them make sense of their feelings, often useful for anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

She also draws on general counselling skills to support people facing life changes, grief, chronic illness or addiction. These skills involve reflective listening, gentle questioning and helping people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss how person-centred methods fit your needs and agree on goals and preferences in collaboration with you. This helps make sure the way of working matches your situation and what you want to achieve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you need shorter check-ins that use less time or less bandwidth, you can discuss that with the therapist. The site asks you to confirm session options before booking so you know which formats are offered for appointments.
