About Amy
Amy Houston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also helps with addiction concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and stress related to caregiving and work. Amy holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience.
She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about painful or confusing feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on making practical steps that feel manageable. Amy listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients notice patterns in relationships and behaviour. Amy uses a client-centred approach that places the person’s experience at the heart of therapy.
That means work is paced to the individual and guided by their goals rather than a fixed script. People often leave sessions with clearer priorities and small actions to try between meetings. Her background includes three years of direct practice in the UK and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She draws on this experience when helping with issues such as anger, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and body image concerns. Practical problems are addressed alongside emotional recovery. Amy supports people who are coping with separation, infidelity, addiction, family tensions and the emotional fallout from traumatic events.
She aims to help clients build steadier routines, restore confidence and move toward greater wellbeing.

Ways of working Amy names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Client-centred work delivered online
Amy primarily uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions concentrate on the person in front of her. She listens without judgement, reflects back what she hears and helps people identify their own goals. This approach is useful for relationship stress, self-esteem struggles, trauma-related difficulties and feeling stuck after big life changes.Work online can also suit people dealing with grief, addiction or caregiver fatigue because it allows steady, gradual progress. Amy will collaborate with each person to find the best way of working and will adapt pacing, focus and techniques to match their needs and preferences. Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapy process and happens together during early sessions.
Practical benefits of online sessions include flexibility around location and routine. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a more conversational flow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer typing to talking or who want short check-ins between meetings. Registered and accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these options to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
