Amy Griffiths, BACP

Amy Griffiths offers warm, compassionate support for people who may be feeling raw, isolated, confused or fearful. She sits alongside clients who are trying to accept difficult circumstances, adapt to life changes, or make sense of complex emotions that affect day-to-day living.

She specialises in neurodiversity and transgender issues and also provides support for family members of neurodivergent or transgender people. Her work includes both anticipatory and current grief and loss, social isolation and anxiety, life transitions, and the unsettled "not quite sure" feelings that can persist over time.

As a person-centred counsellor she adopts a nonjudgemental stance, working collaboratively to explore thoughts and emotions and to build understanding of how these feelings impact daily functioning. No topic, thought or feeling is taboo in sessions. Amy aims to create a compassionate space where people can speak openly and begin to find their own way forward, and she welcomes the opportunity to meet new clients.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy in Amy's practice emphasises empathetic listening and an accepting therapeutic relationship that helps people explore their own solutions and build self-understanding. This approach is well suited to work on identity, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions and the uncertain feelings that can interfere with daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy offers practical strategies for present-moment awareness and grounding, helping to manage anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties and emotional overwhelm. These techniques teach ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings with greater calm and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Amy will collaborate with each client to determine which methods or combination of methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt techniques so therapy remains relevant and manageable for the individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility to this work. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions around work, family and other commitments while still receiving consistent therapeutic support.
