About Amy

Amy Houston helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating or sleeping troubles, ADHD and work-related stress. Amy is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience.

She holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Amy aims to create a calm space where clients can talk without feeling judged.

Background and approach

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations are paced to match each person’s needs, with practical next steps explored together. Her approach centres on client-centred therapy, which means the client sets the agenda and Amy listens closely to what is important.

She helps people untangle difficult feelings and make choices that suit their life and values. This style works well for concerns such as communication problems, commitment doubts, guilt and shame, and recovery from domestic violence or infidelity. Amy also pays attention to wider stresses like caregiving strain, fatherhood issues, and compassion fatigue.

She supports people working through career doubts, divorce and separation, and the emotional fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Body image and eating-related difficulties are included in her focus. To begin, Amy invites people to describe what feels hardest right now.

Together they decide on practical steps and simple goals. The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer thinking rather than quick fixes.

Approaches Amy lists

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Amy practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing. In practice she encourages people to lead discussions about what matters most, helping them make sense of feelings and decide on steps forward. This approach is useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship problems, grief and trauma recovery. The right therapeutic approach often emerges over a few sessions. Amy will discuss preferences, goals and practical needs with each person and together they will identify what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress is made. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, giving flexibility and clearer access to support.
