Amy Heyes, BACP

Amy Heyes is a person-centred counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who brings three years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress and anxiety, living with disability and chronic pain, and the effects of different forms of abuse. Her practice also addresses addictions, trauma, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns, anger, career issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, alongside related areas such as chronic illness, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation, narcissism, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and issues of sexuality.

Amy’s approach is grounded in person-centred principles, offering a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can explore the reasons they have sought counselling. She provides attentive listening and helps people process what they are experiencing, alongside gentle reflection and clarity that can reveal new perspectives and next steps. Amy seeks to stand beside clients during difficult moments until they feel able to move forward. She aims to collaborate with each person to find a path that feels clear and manageable, and she welcomes the opportunity to work together toward those goals.

Person-Centred Care and Practical Online Support

Person-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is particularly helpful for people dealing with stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and the emotional aftermath of abuse.

Alongside person-centred work, Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs presented in sessions. These techniques are applied in a practical, goal-focused way to help manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma-related responses, and the challenges of living with chronic pain or illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amy collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the way she works as progress unfolds. She supports clients in choosing approaches that feel comfortable and effective.

Online therapy with Amy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support without the need to travel, and they allow registered professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
