About Amy

Amy Cumber is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the ups and downs of bipolar. She works with clients who are facing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship or intimacy difficulties, and challenges like addiction or ADHD. Amy uses a calm, collaborative style and treats the person as the expert in their own life.

She draws on five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation with practice in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and she aims to balance support with gentle challenge. Amy welcomes feedback so the work stays useful and relevant. Her approach mixes practical tools and conversational reflection.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thinking and try out different behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation focused on what matters most to the client and on building trust in the room. Mindfulness methods are used to help people notice how they’re feeling in the moment and reduce reactivity.

Where useful, psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. Solution-Focused work helps set short-term goals and make measurable changes. Amy often helps with issues around attachment, adoption or foster care, body image, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and sexual expression such as kink and BDSM.

She aims for clear, practical steps you can practise between sessions to build steady progress.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Amy uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the client’s priorities and to build a trusting working relationship. This approach is about listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides hands-on strategies such as spotting unhelpful thoughts, planning behavioural experiments, and practising new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. She will work with each person to clarify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan as needed. The therapist treats the client as a partner in shaping the work rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are helpful when visual cues and a conversational rhythm matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, quick reflections, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family and other commitments.
