Amy Butterworth is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, steady presence for people facing grief, anxiety, stress and life transitions. Amy aims to meet clients where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

She uses a person-centred way of working, which means listening without judgement and focusing on each person’s priorities. Amy may integrate ideas from therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when these are helpful.

Background and approach

Sessions typically focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and emotional understanding. Amy has five years of counselling experience alongside nine years working in maternity services within the NHS. That background has shaped her work with pregnancy-related distress, birth trauma and bereavement linked to infant loss.

She is also an accredited practitioner with the Foundation for Infant Loss. Personal experience as a carer has informed Amy’s interest in neurodiversity, including autism spectrum conditions and ADHD. She supports parents and carers who are coping with the demands of caring roles and the stress that can bring.

Sessions can address a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, addiction, low self-esteem, sleeping and eating problems, anger and coping with chronic illness. Amy blends listening with practical tools so clients can try different ways to feel steadier and more able to cope.

How Amy’s approaches work online

Amy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside a person-centred way of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match what matters to you. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when relationship fears or trust issues get in the way of connection.

The therapist will help figure out which approach fits best. That choice is collaborative and may change as goals evolve. Amy listens to practical needs and personal preferences when suggesting methods so the plan suits each person’s situation.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between appointments or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and everyday life.
