Amy Heyes, BACP

Amy Heyes is a person centred counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions and low self esteem. She also supports those managing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and issues around sexuality. Amy has particular experience with chronic pain and disability, trauma and abuse, and difficulties such as eating, sleeping and concentration problems.

Amy's style is simple and direct. She offers a calm space to talk without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on making sense of difficult feelings. Amy listens closely and will sometimes reflect thoughts or offer clarity to help people see a way forward.

Her approach draws on person centred practice, so the client leads the pace and agenda. Amy aims to accompany people through hard moments rather than direct them. She describes the work as standing beside people while they find their footing again.

Amy has three years of experience working with a wide range of concerns and life situations. Her background includes supporting people who have experienced different forms of abuse and those living with chronic health conditions. She explains things plainly and focuses on practical conversation in the room.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability. Costs vary with location and there is a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How person centred work and practical techniques translate online

Amy's practice is built around person centred counselling, which focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what feels important. This approach helps people find their own answers by talking through emotions and life problems in a steady, accepting way. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns.

She also uses straightforward supportive techniques that help with coping and clarity, such as reflecting thoughts, identifying manageable next steps and pacing conversations to the client's needs. These practical steps can help when dealing with stress, chronic pain, low mood or recovery from trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to agree what feels most helpful, and she will adjust methods as goals and preferences become clearer. The aim is to match style to need rather than apply a single technique.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter or simpler way to connect with a therapist.
