Amy Heyes

Amy Heyes is a person centred counsellor registered with the BACP. She supports people with anger alongside other concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. Amy aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can speak openly and start to make sense of difficult feelings.

She has three years of professional experience working with people facing chronic pain and disability, as well as those who have experienced various forms of abuse. Amy listens and reflects back what she hears to help people notice patterns and options they may not have seen before.

Amy’s style is straightforward and warm. Sessions give people room to talk and time to pause. She sometimes offers observations or gentle suggestions to help a client find clarity and practical next steps.

People often come to her when life feels overwhelming or when strong emotions are getting in the way of daily living. Amy describes her role as standing beside someone at a difficult moment until they can take the next step themselves.

She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. The counselling is person centred and focuses on the person’s own experience and pace. Prospective clients are encouraged to check current session options before booking.

Approaches to help you manage strong emotions online

Amy works from a person centred framework where the conversation is led by the person sitting opposite her. This approach focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what she hears and giving the speaker space to find their own answers. It is well suited to people who need a steady, empathic listener when coping with anger, loss or life changes.

She also draws on evidence-based ways of helping people notice and change unhelpful patterns. For example, practical reflection and problem-focused discussion can help when anger is linked to daily stressors or relationship struggles. These techniques aim to identify small steps that make day-to-day life easier rather than offering quick fixes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amy will discuss what feels comfortable and what goals someone has, then agree a way of working together. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to individual needs and pace.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helpful because it can fit into a workday, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to keep continuity of care if circumstances change, while the therapist and client review what works best over time.
