Amy Marshall

Amy Marshall is a BACP-registered counsellor with 12 years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She takes a straightforward, calm approach and aims to make sessions feel approachable for someone who is worried or unsure. Amy listens first and then helps clients decide on practical next steps they can try between sessions.

She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strain and sleep or eating difficulties. Amy also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, autism-related issues, chronic illness, and career stress. Her background includes a strong interest in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which she blends with other ways of working to suit each person.

Amy describes her practice as client-centred, which means the conversation is guided by what matters most to the individual. She often looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and then helps people break unhelpful patterns. Sessions are shaped around practical goals and manageable steps rather than abstract theory.

Her training is integrative, drawing on attachment-based, psychodynamic and Jungian ideas as needed. Amy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She follows their ethical framework in how she practises and how she manages the therapeutic relationship.

People who choose Amy can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where real-life problems are talked through plainly. The work aims to help people gain clarity, build resilience and move towards practical change.

How these approaches guide online conversations

Amy often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions; this can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and relationship stress. Client-Centred Therapy is another key influence, where the client’s priorities shape the session and the counsellor offers acceptance and careful listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to try small, practical changes that reduce distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Amy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try first and review progress as therapy continues so the plan can change if needed.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. The therapist’s profile does not list specific formats here, so it is important to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and discussions to an online setting so everyday problems are discussed in a practical way.
