About Amy

Amy Marshall is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are feeling stuck or uncertain after changes in work, relationships or health. Her listed areas include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes, among others.

Amy uses a client-centred stance that keeps conversations focused on what matters to the person in front of her. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Attachment-based ideas also inform how she talks about patterns in relating and intimacy concerns.

Sessions are conversational and straightforward. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of responding, and test small changes between sessions. Practical steps and reflective exploration are mixed depending on what each person needs.

Her additional interests include work around abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and addictions. She also lists experience with eating, sleeping and parenting concerns, and with neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Amy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. She follows the BACP ethical framework in her work. To begin, people use the site matching flow to find session options and book a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and intimacy, and it can help with abandonment or communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods as sessions progress. This means practical exercises from CBT can sit alongside reflective attachment conversations when that fits the person’s needs.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time from appointments. The focus is on matching a way of working that fits daily life while using the chosen therapeutic methods collaboratively.
