Amy Murray, BACP

Amy Murray is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or stuck after loss. She also supports those dealing with relationship strains, low self-esteem, motivation struggles and major life changes such as midlife reassessment.

Amy aims to make the first steps easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most. She encourages practical, manageable changes and helps people notice small shifts that add up over time. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, focusing on what a person wants to change now.

Her background includes work with a range of concerns from depression and trauma to anger, bipolar mood issues and ADHD-related difficulties. She also has experience with family-related challenges such as adoption and foster care, blended family tensions, attachment matters and caregiver stress.

Amy uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, tailoring methods to a person’s needs rather than applying one fixed approach. She listens for strengths and builds on them, while helping people develop coping strategies for distressing moments.

People who choose Amy often want support planning next steps, managing difficult emotions, or rebuilding confidence after transitions. If someone is thinking about change but feels uncertain, she aims to make the process clearer and more manageable.

How evidence-informed methods translate to online work

Amy uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps to reduce distress and improve coping. One common approach she relies on helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns so they can respond differently to stress and low mood. This is useful for anxiety, depression and motivation problems.

She also draws on structured problem-solving methods that break larger life issues into manageable parts. These tools help with decision-making, career uncertainty, relationship tensions and the practical challenges of midlife change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals and preferences become clearer. That collaborative choice helps ensure sessions stay relevant and practical.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, remove travel time and allow for brief check-ins when a full face-to-face slot is hard to arrange. Phone contact can suit shorter updates or when video is difficult, while video sessions let people use facial cues during conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the format to a person’s needs and everyday life.
