About Amy
Amy Neave is a counsellor who offers calm, attentive online support. She helps people reconnect with themselves when anxiety, low mood or relationship problems make life feel heavy. Amy uses a gentle, relational style to help clients slow down and reflect.
She is registered with the NCPS, which she lists as a professional credential. Amy’s practice focuses on understanding emotions, thought patterns and attachment styles so people can find clearer ways to respond to difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She works with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, and adapts sessions to how each person thinks and communicates. Sessions often explore persistent beliefs such as feeling not good enough, perfectionism, or chronic self-doubt. She helps people notice those patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves.
Practical tools for grounding and emotional regulation are offered alongside reflective conversation. Amy draws on Narrative ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work and cognitive approaches. This mix supports people wanting to accept themselves while taking steps toward change.
The emphasis is on curiosity rather than judgement. Her practice includes support for a wide range of concerns, from stress and grief to addictions, eating issues and career questions. Online sessions are available in English and arranged to suit the individual’s needs and preferences.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Amy directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Amy combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work. Narrative approaches look at the stories people tell about themselves and help rewrite those stories so they fit who someone really is and who they want to become. This can help with identity questions, body image and long-standing patterns of thought.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small steps towards a meaningful life, which suits worries like anxiety, low mood or feeling stuck. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people learn new ways of relating to others and themselves.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to find what fits best, adapting methods to pace, goals and communication style rather than forcing a single method. This is a team effort where the client’s preferences shape the plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read non-verbal cues and have in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling-style reflection or fitting support around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family and daily life.
