Amy Heyes

Amy Heyes is a person centred counsellor who helps people work through anxiety, depression, trauma and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Amy aims to offer a calm, non-judgmental space where someone can talk through what is worrying them and begin to find clearer steps forward.

She takes a person centred approach, which means the focus stays on the client's experience and choices. Sessions give time to speak, reflect and make sense of difficult feelings. Amy may offer observations and gentle suggestions to help someone spot patterns and options they might not have seen.

Amy has around three years' experience working with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, chronic pain and all forms of abuse. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, workplace stress and challenges linked to sexuality and identity.

In the room she aims to be steady and present. Conversations tend to be practical and plain spoken, with attention to what helps in day-to-day life. Amy describes herself as standing beside someone when they feel at a loss, helping them take small steps forward.

To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to availability. Fees vary by location and the service operates via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How person centred work and practical approaches help online

Person centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The aim is to offer a respectful, non-judgmental space so someone can talk through what matters most and decide their next steps. This approach helps with issues such as low mood, anxiety and feeling isolated.

Alongside person centred work, many therapists use evidence-based techniques to help manage stress and anxiety. For example, simple grounding or pacing strategies can help reduce overwhelm and support coping with chronic pain or difficult memories. Brief problem-solving steps can make everyday challenges feel more manageable by breaking them into smaller actions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. If something isn’t working, she will adjust the way they work together so the sessions feel useful and relevant.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking since these are not specified here. Online work can fit more easily around daily life, reducing travel and helping people attend during lunch breaks or between commitments. It can also allow for different lengths of check-ins or phone conversations when a shorter meeting is needed.
