About Amy
Amy Neave is a counsellor who offers a calm, compassionate space to help people reconnect with themselves. She welcomes people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, or a sense of disconnection. Amy uses a gentle, relational style that aims to slow things down so clients can reflect and prioritise their needs.
Amy holds NCPS which indicates her registration with that body. Her approach often focuses on helping people notice their thought patterns and emotional reactions without judgement. Sessions typically involve listening, reflective feedback, and practical tools to manage intense feelings.
She works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or trapped by self-critical beliefs. Amy often helps clients examine attachment patterns, process past experiences, and build self-compassion. She also supports those navigating identity, emotional regulation, or feeling misunderstood in social settings.
Amy has five years of experience and has developed ways to tailor sessions to each person’s pace and needs. She draws on approaches that encourage acceptance alongside change, so clients can both acknowledge where they are and take steps forward.
People who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and autism, are described as welcomed for flexible, respectful work that honours different ways of thinking and communicating. Amy aims to help clients find clarity, confidence, and more choice in how they live and relate to others.

How Motivational Interviewing and ACT shape online counselling
Amy combines Motivational Interviewing with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward it. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring ambivalence and finding personal motivation for change, which can help with issues like addiction, career moves, or shifting habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to commit to actions that reflect personal values.
Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolkit and looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach can be useful for people who want to understand why they relate to others in particular ways and build healthier interactions. Amy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to test what fits best for their goals and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow appointments from different locations. Practical arrangements and available session formats should be confirmed before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Many people find online work useful for regular check-ins, emotional regulation tools, and exploring patterns with continuity across weeks. -
