About Amy
Amy Neave is a counsellor who offers a calm, compassionate space for people feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. She uses a gentle, relational style to help clients slow down, reflect and begin to prioritise their own needs. Amy is NCPS registered and draws on humanistic principles to support practical change at a manageable pace.
Many people come with anxiety, low mood, or relationship worries. Amy helps them notice patterns such as self-criticism, perfectionism or repeated attachment responses.
Background and approach
She encourages self-compassion and clearer emotional understanding rather than pushing for quick fixes. Work together might include looking at past experiences, identifying attachment style, and developing everyday tools for emotional regulation. Amy describes her way of working as curious and non-judgemental, combining active listening with straightforward exercises you can use between sessions.
Sessions are tailored to each person's pace and needs. She also has experience supporting neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD and autism, and aims to adapt how sessions run to match individual ways of thinking and communicating. Practical strategies and reflective conversation are mixed to help people feel less stuck.
In therapy with Amy, acceptance and change are both part of the journey. The focus is on building self-trust, clearer thinking and small, sustainable steps towards the life someone wants.

How Amy works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss what feels most helpful and try different ways of working so goals, preferences and life circumstances guide the plan. That means techniques and conversation change as needs evolve rather than following a fixed script.
If you are thinking about online counselling, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets the therapist tailor practical tools and pacing to how you communicate and process, which is often helpful for neurodivergent clients and those juggling other commitments.
