Amy Butterworth, BACP

Amy Butterworth is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She works from a person-centred perspective, offering a warm and nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings at their own pace. Amy describes her practice as holistic, collaborative, and pluralistic - she will often integrate techniques from different approaches when that will help a client reach their goals and feel more settled.

Amy has supported people through a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship and financial difficulties, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. In her private practice she frequently works with antenatal and postnatal issues as well as pregnancy-related concerns such as miscarriage, baby loss, and abortion. She also works with birth trauma and the complex grief that can follow perinatal loss.

Alongside her private work, Amy brings extensive maternity experience from time spent working within the NHS and is an accredited practitioner with the Foundation for Infant Loss. She has developed a particular interest in neurodiversity - especially autism spectrum conditions and ADHD - informed in part by her lived experience as the carer of a child with special educational needs and disabilities. That experience underpins her work with parents and carers, offering practical emotional support and understanding for families navigating additional caring responsibilities.

Amy holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to ongoing professional development and ethical practice.
