About Amy

Amy Marshall is a BACP therapist with 12 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her work also covers issues such as addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain and career concerns.

Amy uses an integrative, client-centred stance. She listens for patterns in a person's thinking and behaviour. She then works with the person to try out small, practical changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She draws regularly on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, looking at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Attachment-based ideas also inform her work when relationship patterns and abandonment concerns are present. That combination aims to help people understand why strong feelings arise and what can be done about them.

Sessions involve talking through recent problems, identifying unhelpful patterns and testing different ways of responding. Amy offers straightforward techniques to manage overwhelming feelings and to rebuild a clearer sense of perspective after difficult experiences.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP. Her approach follows that professional framework and emphasises practical steps, reflection and steady progress over time.

Approaches you might use together online

Amy works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas in many of her sessions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, anger, low mood and coping strategies.

Attachment-based elements focus on how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. That approach can be useful when strong feelings come up in close relationships or when abandonment and trust issues are present. Both approaches aim to increase understanding and to open different ways of responding rather than to offer a quick fix.

Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to identify goals, try suitable methods and adjust plans if something is not helpful. Decisions about methods are based on needs, preferences and what is working in practice.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It can also make some exercises easier to try between sessions so that new ways of handling anger and stress can be practised in day-to-day life.
