About Amy
Amy Houston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Amy aims to make the first step feel less daunting for anyone who is worried about starting therapy. In sessions she focuses on building an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by the person’s needs rather than a strict agenda. Amy listens for what matters most and works with each client to set realistic, manageable goals. Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises understanding a person’s experience from their perspective.
That means reflecting what a client says, checking understanding, and helping people find their own answers. This style can suit concerns such as low mood, relationship strain, grief and stress. Amy also supports people dealing with addiction-related issues, body image worries, parenting stress and work-related strain like compassion fatigue.
She will help clients break down problems into steps they can try between sessions, such as practical coping strategies and communication techniques. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. A typical first meeting focuses on getting to know the client, hearing what they want to change, and agreeing a way forward together.

Approaches Amy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In online sessions Amy aims to adapt the same person-focused style used in face-to-face work. She will collaborate with each client to decide how best to use session time, discuss goals, and try different practical strategies together. Finding the right approach is a shared process and she checks in regularly to make sure the work suits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a conversation close to an in-person meeting, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins during a busy day, and messaging can fit around work or caregiving commitments. These formats offer flexibility and make it simpler to arrange regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
