About Amy
Amy Marshall is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She uses a calm, down-to-earth style and keeps sessions practical so people can start making small changes straight away. Amy has 12 years of experience and works from the United Kingdom as a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Her work draws on several therapy approaches so sessions are tailored to each person. Amy often uses client-centred listening to help people feel understood. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at how thoughts influence mood and behaviour, and attachment-based ideas when early relationships shape current patterns.
Sessions usually begin with a focused conversation about what feels most urgent. Amy helps set realistic goals and breaks bigger problems into manageable steps. She also pays attention to practical factors like sleep, eating and daily routine when these affect mood and focus.
Clients come for a wide range of concerns including addiction, parenting strain, burnout, trauma and intimacy issues. She also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness or the emotional impact of cancer. Each plan is personalised to the person’s situation and aims.
Amy describes her style as compassionate and straightforward. She encourages people to notice small shifts and to try things between sessions. Many clients report feeling clearer about next steps by the end of the early meetings.

How Amy’s approaches translate to online counselling
Amy works with a blend of client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people who are navigating midlife shifts, anxiety or relationship strain. Client-centred work focuses on attentive listening and helping the person lead the conversation, which can make it easier to name what matters most. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and are useful when clients want practical steps to change patterns or manage mood.Attachment-based ideas are also used when early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and intimacy. This approach helps people notice repeated patterns and try new ways of relating. Amy will discuss which approaches seem most helpful and together with the client decide what to try first so therapy matches personal goals and preferences.
If you are considering online work, check the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when a short conversation will help. They also make it possible to continue talking while juggling changes that come in midlife. The therapist will help shape session length and focus so appointments fit into everyday routines and therapeutic aims.
