About Polly
Polly Amies is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of formal experience. She has a long history of working in therapeutic settings and has supported people with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and grief. Polly lists anger among the concerns she addresses.
Polly works in a straightforward way. She listens and helps people make sense of what causes their temper or simmering resentment. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and manage stress that feeds anger. She also addresses related areas such as sleep, eating, self‑esteem and coping with life changes.
Her approach draws on client‑centred work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that escalate feelings. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down strong reactions and increase awareness of the body’s signals. Solution‑focused and motivational strategies help set short achievable goals and track progress.
Polly has experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those living with neurodiversity. She also lists addictions, caregiving stress, chronic illness and intimacy issues among the topics she helps people with. That range means sessions often cover practical routines as well as talking about relationships and past hurts.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Polly accepts international clients and works in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Polly uses client‑centred therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them notice strengths and make sense of feelings that feed anger.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to test different ways of responding. CBT offers practical exercises to reduce reactivity and to change behaviours that keep anger high.
Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help people become aware of bodily signs and the early build up of tension. Simple breathing and grounding practices are taught so reactions can be paused before they escalate.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Polly will talk about what feels useful, try different techniques early on, and adjust the plan based on goals and how someone responds. The emphasis is on finding methods that fit the person’s life and make small, steady changes.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday problems.
