About Amy

Amy Marshall is a BACP counsellor with 12 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Amy also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, body image and self-esteem issues.

Amy uses an integrative, client-centred approach that draws on several therapeutic models. She pays attention to how thoughts and behaviours interact, and often uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and focus on what is happening now, and what practical steps feel manageable.

Attachment concerns and relationship patterns are a common thread in her work, including abandonment and communication problems. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and recovery from domestic violence and separation. Amy lists support for ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue among her practice areas.

Her training mixes psychodynamic and existential ideas with Jungian concepts at times, so sessions can include discussion of life meaning and deeper relational themes. The emphasis is on helping people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and choices, without pressure to relive events.

Amy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). She follows the BACP ethical framework in her practice. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment through the online booking flow.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Amy commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural approaches. Client-centred therapy focuses on open listening and helping people describe what matters to them, which can help when guilt or shame feels overwhelming. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and supports practical experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together they decide how to proceed. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Please confirm the current online session formats before booking because the original biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats to match what works in everyday life, and this is something to discuss when booking your first appointment.
