About Amy
Amy Butterworth is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy approachable and down to earth. She meets people where they are and offers a warm, supportive space to talk about hard things. Her style is collaborative, and she works at each person’s pace so they feel heard and accepted.
Amy describes herself as person-centred and often blends methods to suit individual needs. She draws on practical approaches to help with anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing pregnancy and postnatal difficulties, miscarriage, baby loss and birth trauma.
With five years of counselling experience and nine years of maternity work in the NHS, Amy has worked with a range of practical and emotional problems. Her background includes supporting people after domestic violence and sexual abuse, and assisting those coping with financial or career-related stress.
Personal experience of caring for a child with special educational needs has shaped Amy’s interest in neurodiversity, especially autism and ADHD, and in supporting parents and carers. She is also an accredited practitioner with the Foundation for Infant Loss, which informs her work around infant bereavement.
Amy uses treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work when these suit a person’s goals. She discusses options openly and tailors sessions to practical goals like sleep, coping strategies, or rebuilding connection.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Amy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, which can help with relationship struggles and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amy works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. She explains different options and adapts the plan as progress is made and needs change.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also let people access support from within their local area in the United Kingdom while keeping appointments manageable alongside family and work commitments.
