About Amy
Counsellor Amy Marshall is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. Amy also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and a range of attachment and intimacy-related problems.
Amy uses a mix of approaches rather than a single model. She draws on client-centred principles, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural work to help people notice patterns in thought and behaviour. Sessions focus on discussing what is happening now and finding manageable ways to change day-to-day responses.
People who come to her often want practical tools as well as space to talk. Amy uses straightforward techniques from CBT alongside longer-term thinking about attachment and personal meaning. She pays attention to how past relationships affect current ones and looks at how habits of thought keep problems going.
Her work also draws on existential and Jungian ideas to help with questions about identity, values and life direction. These approaches support people who are wrestling with meaning, loss or big transitions. Amy combines shorter-term strategies with deeper exploration when that fits the person’s aims.
Amy follows the BACP ethical framework. Her model is conversational and goal-aware: sessions are guided by what the person wants to change and by practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Approaches used in online counselling
Amy commonly draws on attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment and family-related concerns. Client-centred work is about being listened to without pressure and helping the person find their own answers through reflective conversation. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person’s goals and situation. Plans can change as progress is reviewed and different ideas are tried to see what fits best.
