Amy Wright

Amy Wright is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with adults aged 18 and over on a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues. Amy also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, addiction, LGBT matters and life changes. She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the heart of sessions. Sessions are usually one-to-one and can be short or long term depending on what a person needs. Amy has particular experience supporting people affected by problematic gambling and their loved ones over more than ten years. In practical terms she helps people talk through what brought them to counselling, to identify patterns and to think about what they might want to change. She often works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, family of origin and blended family dynamics. Other areas she addresses include body image, chronic illness, fertility concerns and forgiveness. Amy is LGBT inclusive and frames work around building a trusting, equal relationship with each client. Her style is person-focused and aims to help people find their own ways to manage difficult feelings and decisions. She describes counselling as a place to gain more insight into feelings and behaviour. To start, clients use an online matching process and then book a first session. Sessions follow a person-centred base and are designed to fit the individual needs and preferences of the adult seeking support.

Person-centred work and online sessions

Amy practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her. This approach aims to help people understand their feelings, identify what matters most and consider different ways forward. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and coping with life transitions.

Her approach places the client’s priorities first and treats the relationship as the key tool in therapy. She will discuss how counselling might help and work with the client to decide what methods and session length suit their situation. Finding the right fit is collaborative and may be reviewed as needs change.

The original profile does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into daily life, for example by reducing travel or making it easier to fit a session between commitments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue person-centred work in a way that suits practical schedules and preferences.
