Amy Griffiths, BACP

Amy Griffiths is a counsellor who helps people facing big changes and difficult feelings. She offers a calm, non-judgemental listening space for those feeling isolated, confused or unsure about the next step. Amy holds BACP accreditation, which she carries with five years of practice in the United Kingdom.

Amy works in a person-centred way, which means she follows the client’s pace and priorities. She supports people who are coping with loss, grief and anticipatory grief, and those managing anxiety or stress. She also helps with issues around identity, including neurodiversity and transgender concerns, and the impact these can have on close relationships.

Practical day-to-day problems are part of the work too. Amy helps people who struggle with sleep, low self-esteem, addiction patterns, career stress and compassion fatigue. Conversations can focus on making sense of feelings, testing small changes, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.

Mindfulness techniques are used alongside a client-centred stance to help people be more present and calm in difficult moments. Amy encourages simple practices that can be used between sessions to ease anxiety and improve focus.

Her approach is gentle and direct. She invites clients to bring whatever concerns they have, including questions about ageing, caregiver stress, bereavement, intimacy or recovery from trauma. Sessions are intended to help people notice what matters most and take manageable steps forward.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Amy uses a client-centred approach that focuses on what the person brings to the room. This means the counsellor listens closely, follows the client’s agenda and offers reflections to help people understand their feelings and choices. It suits people who want a respectful, paced conversation about life changes and identity concerns.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These tools help reduce racing thoughts and make intense emotions easier to sit with. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, grief and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Amy will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and will suggest ways of working that feel realistic and manageable. The plan can be adjusted as work proceeds so the therapy stays useful and relevant.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep regular contact while balancing work, caregiving or other commitments.
