Amy Russell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of professional experience helping people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Amy works in English and French and supports people through a range of life stressors and transitions.

She focuses on relationship strain, family conflict, and building self-esteem. She also helps with career questions, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety.

Background and approach

Amy offers support for grief, depression, LGBT matters, compassion fatigue and coaching-style work when people want practical next steps. In sessions she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person’s situation rather than using a single formula.

She encourages small, achievable steps so change feels manageable rather than daunting. Amy also pays attention to body image, communication problems and issues around control, guilt or shame. She supports people exploring gender dysphoria, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love and social anxiety.

Practical support can include building coping skills, improving communication, and clarifying goals for work or relationships. The tone in sessions is collaborative and down to earth, with a focus on what can realistically change next.

How Amy’s approaches work online

Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is goal-focused work that breaks bigger problems into small, manageable steps and practical actions to try between sessions; this suits people facing career decisions, motivation blocks or life transitions. Another approach emphasises building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching simple techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing and can suit those who prefer typing or want flexible daily check-ins.
