About Amy

Amy Houston helps people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, and workplace stress. Amy is based in the United Kingdom and places straightforward practical support at the centre of her work.

Amy uses a client-centred approach that puts the person rather than the problem first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting what matters most, and helping people find the next small steps.

Background and approach

She aims to create a calm and non-judgemental atmosphere where worries can be talked through in plain language. Her background includes three years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP on her profile and signals her connection to a national professional body.

In sessions Amy helps people name difficult feelings and look at practical strategies for coping. Conversations can cover boundaries, communication, parenting strains, body image, addiction patterns, or decisions about work and relationships. The emphasis is on finding what feels manageable and realistic for each person.

Amy offers short-term focused work and longer conversations depending on what someone needs. She supports people who are exploring identity, recovering from hurt, or wanting clearer ways to handle stress. Reaching out can be the first step toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

Sessions & fees

Client-centred care delivered online

Amy works from a client-centred perspective which means she aims to follow what matters most to each person. In practice this looks like sessions where the therapist listens carefully, reflects back what is said, and helps the person decide the themes to focus on. This approach suits issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and processing past hurt.

Client-centred work is often paired with practical problem-solving. Amy helps people identify small achievable steps, try different coping strategies, and review what is working. This way of working can be helpful for managing depression, anxiety about relationships, caregiving stress and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and help choose ways of working that fit the person. This collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversations or need more frequent brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life.
