About Amy
Amy Russell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings seven years of professional experience working with people facing relationship strain, career uncertainty and low self-esteem. Amy aims to offer a calm, respectful space where someone can talk things through and feel heard.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression using practical conversations and personalised plans. Sessions often include looking at communication, coping with life changes and building self-love and confidence.
Background and approach
Amy also supports clients dealing with body image, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She listens first, then shapes an approach to fit someone’s goals and everyday life.
The focus is on small, manageable steps that build skills and restore a sense of control. Amy has a particular interest in LGBT matters and in compassion fatigue for people in caring roles. She describes therapy as a partnership, with honesty, sensitivity and respect at its centre.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and practical tools alongside reflective conversation. People who want to start will fill out a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches shape online counselling
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work in straightforward ways. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to stressful situations; this is practical for anxiety, low mood and decision making. Another approach focuses on improving communication and problem solving between people, which can help with relationship strain and family-related difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will invite discussion about what feels most helpful and will adapt methods to suit a person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with the therapist and client testing approaches and adjusting them as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking. The practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. These features can make it easier to keep therapy consistent and apply what is discussed to everyday life.
